Falcon Theatre Presents FIRST JO-EL, 12/1-1/16

The Falcon Theatre presents Troubadour Theater Company's THE FIRST JO-EL, the third production in its 2010-2011 Subscription Season. They May Be Right or they may be crazy, but the Troubies are telling the story of the nativity with the help of Piano Man, Billy Joel. Let go of that New York State of Mind, and Say Goodbye to Hollywood, and hello to Bethlehem! She's Got a pregnant Way About Her, but when they Tell Her About It that there's no room at the inn, Joseph and Mary are Movin' Out to the manger. Come out and enjoy yourself for The Longest Time!
