All proceeds from this event will support Meals on Wheels of Lancaster.

About the Show
“Just Give ’Em the News” is an original, delightfully askew, musical take on the first Christmas. From the creative minds of Jeff Raught and Ted Swartz come original songs,
inspired piano playing, and comedic theater. Finding the humor and humanity in biblical stories has long been a hallmark of Ted & Company. Kick off your holiday season with a healthy dose of comedy and great theater AND raise money for Meals on Wheels of Lancaster, an organization providing a critical service to our community.

This isn’t just a night at the theater—it’s an opportunity to make a difference. All proceeds from this event will directly support Meals on Wheels of Lancaster, helping us provide nutritious meals and a vital connection to our homebound neighbors.
