Synopsis: 

Christmas with Dr. Why is a heartwarming, adventure-filled musical that follows two sisters on a journey to discover the true meaning of Christmas. When Sara is assigned a school presentation on the meaning of Christmas, she realizes she doesn’t have a real answer—only a list of traditions, memories, and seasonal activities. Her curious questioning catches the attention of Dr. Why, an eccentric time-traveling scientist who loves big questions and bigger adventures.

With the help of Dr. Why and his time machine, the TITUS, Sara and her little sister Lizzie travel through history on an unforgettable Christmas quest. In Victorian London, they meet Charles Dickens, who helps them understand the joy of giving. In ancient Turkey, they encounter Saint Nicholas, who shows them the beauty of generosity done in secret. Finally, their journey takes them all the way to Bethlehem, where they witness the humble birth of Jesus—the greatest gift God has ever given.

Blending humor, heart, memorable songs, and biblical truth, Christmas with Dr. Why invites audiences of all ages to rediscover the wonder of the season. This production highlights how every tradition, story, and act of giving ultimately points back to God’s incredible gift of His Son. Perfect for churches, schools, and community theaters, this musical delivers a message that is both timeless and timely: Christmas means giving—for God gave His Son.
