Description
Bring to life this inspiring Broadway-style children’s musical about love, forgiveness and the little time we have to give it. Once Upon a Time Shop focuses on an orphanage around the early 1900s where, under the watchful eye of “crotchety” caretaker Miss Curmudgeon, the children make clocks to earn their keep. When the clock shop receives a large clock order with a strict deadline, Miss Curmudgeon pushes the children to work even harder. However, they soon discover that one of the oldest clocks in the clock shop – Grandfather Clock – can talk. With Grandfather Clock’s spiritual wisdom, the children begin to see Miss Curmudgeon in a new light – as a lonely person who needs to know the Lord Jesus Christ. Ideal for children’s choirs of all sizes, this moving 50-minute Broadway-style musical features fun-to-sing new songs and heart-warming drama – perfect for performing any time of the year.

"From the moment I previewed 'TimeShop,' I was hooked. It had elements of the 'Annie' musical I knew and loved, but centered on the goodness and faithfulness of God. I can't say enough about this musical."
