About It's A Party!

Refreshed and updated for 2018, our NEW EDITION of It's A Party! has even more included to help you put on a great nativity, including brand new recordings of 9 classic songs, an easy-to-follow simple script and tons of staging suggestions to get you started!

The invitations were unusual... the guests were unlikely... and the venue was unconventional. But what a party!

More than two thousand years after the Christmas story first began, the celebrations still continue. Whilst Mary and Joseph make their way to Bethlehem, we follow the progress of the angels as they deliver invitations. Those lucky enough to be included on their guest list will get to attend a most unconventional party.

Easy-to-perform and one of our most popular productions, It's A Party! is now fully updated and re-recorded for a new generation to enjoy. Another classic from Out of the Ark Music!

Now available with a Words on Screen™ allowing you to display song lyrics on any whiteboard, computer screen, television or interactive touchscreen. The lyrics synchronize with the music as it plays making them easy to teach and easy to learn!

An Annual Performance Licence is required to perform this nativity.

It’s amazing we’re doing it for the Christmas nativity this year


Great play!

By Jane

I was looking for an exciting Christmas play for my year 3 and 4 children and I was thrilled when I found its a party! The children loved it the minute they heard some of the songs. The parents enjoyed watching. I will definitely be using this again and I recommend it to any school.5 stars from me!


Brilliant!

By Anne

This play is absolutely brilliant. My year 3 class performed this play with year 4 and they loved it! I got great feedback from the parents and they said they'd watch it again and again if they could. I just love everything about it I love how the songs are so upbeat and they get everyone dancing along and singing. If your a teacher looking for a play for ks2 especially i definitely recommend it's a party!


I did this it's great!

By Annie

I remember doing this in year 3 it was really fun to perform and my mum told me it was very funny and great to watch. I'm now in secondary but I still remember all the lyrics to the songs and the actions we did. It's the best play ever!


Excellent. Lovely for kids and parents alike
