THRICE UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR gives audiences a peek into the unlikely—but hilarious—conversations of The Three Wise Men, The Three Wise Women, and The Three Not-So-Wise Shepherds in this traveling triptych as they follow the Star of Bethlehem contemplating its wonder, its mystery…and a good game of golf!

Ask any high school senior and they’ll tell you that prom night is the most important night of their lives. But thanks to Julian – an evil alien warlord from Rangor posing as an ordinary high school student – prom night has turned into an absolute disaster. And it’s all thanks to Becca. An innocent, college-bound kid, who made the colossally bad decision to ask Julian to the prom. Now Julian has the senior class right where he wants them – all in one spot so he and his henchmen can bring them to his planet to be his servants for the rest of their lives.
It’s a fight to the finish as Becca and her friends try to save themselves from a horrible existence and – more importantly – save the prom!
