Mark you calendars now! Tis the season to watch Christmas plays, and this is a good one;)

As a new tradition at PCN, we are going to start doing Christmas plays every other year when we aren't doing a One Act. In order to make this vision a reality, we are in need of some Christmas decor. Our first Christmas play is in a few weeks, and we'd love to put everyone in the Christmas mood. If you would like to help, check out our Donors Choose project.
