The Jenkins family in 1930s Appalachia is the focus of Papa's Angels. It's almost Christmastime, but Grins Jenkins cannot face it, especially after losing his wife to an illness. The Jenkins children, while also dealing with the loss, will attempt to rejuvenate his spirit and help him and each other find joy in the holiday season.
Alan Weller returns to Hayswood Theatre to direct Papa's Angels. Weller previously directed Oklahoma and The Best Christmas Pageant Ever for the theatre.
