Third Party Event: St. James Catholic School - "Glory to God in the Lowest"
2025-12-10
St. James School – “Glory to God in the Lowest”
When angels appeared outside the town of Bethlehem proclaiming the greatest news the world had ever heard, they didn’t deliver their message to the “high and mighty,” but to the simple and lowly — shepherds! And, not just any shepherds, but easily-disregarded “night shepherds.” Little did they know that the promised king, the Messiah from the line of King David, was born that night, right there in Bethlehem, and would grow up to be both the Lamb of God, and the Good Shepherd! Glory to God In the Highest became Glory to God in the Lowest, too, as the very Son of God came to the world He created as a tiny baby in a lowly manger! Join St. James Catholic School’s 3rd and 4th grade students as the bring this fantastic musical to life!

North Hardin High School Drama Club presents – The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon
Welcome to The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon. A Whimsical Journey Through 209 Fairy Tales. You may think you know the stories of Cinderella, Rapunzel, and Hansel and Gretel but you’ve never seen them told quite like this. Guided by the quick-witted duo, Narrator One and Narrator Two, The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon launches you into a delightfully chaotic adventure through all 209 of the Brothers Grimm fairy tales. Our energetic ensemble leaps from tale to tale, stitching them together as we trace the surprising beginnings of some of literature’s most beloved characters. Along the way, you’ll meet a few unfamiliar but unforgettable faces like Pinkie Pie. And just for extra magic, expect an ominous raven, and even an audience member who may be a little too invested in the show. Settle in, open your imagination wide, and enjoy the wild, enchanting whirlwind that is The Spectaculathon.
