Foothills Theater at LCOS is happy to announce the production of our new musical, "Last Bus to Bethlehem"!



It's Christmas Eve and the bus station in Bellefonte, Pa, is closing for good. A local reporter named Maggie Jacobs is assigned the job of getting the last good story about the bus station and arrives to find a group of festive carolers and a traveler named Joy who has an amazing story to tell. Last Bus to Bethlehem weaves together stories from Christmas Eve 1970 with the eve of the station closing, introducing us to a cast of unforgettable characters who find themselves yearning for a way to get to Bethlehem, both in body and in spirit. With several original songs and a long list of favorite hymns and carols, Last Bus to Bethlehem promises to give your holiday season an extra measure of joy and wonder as we celebrate the true meaning of Christmas!
