Away in the Basement takes us back to 1959 and the day of the Sunday School
Christmas Program. In the midst of holiday preparations and sprinklings of love in the
air, the ladies in their witty, down-to-earth style are creating their own memories from
Christmases past and present. Content to do things the way they have always been
done yet pondering new ideas, the reality of everyday life hits home as they plan the
Sunday School Christmas Program. As the children rehearse up in the sanctuary,
several of the ladies of the kitchen are finishing up the treat bags filled with apples,
peanuts and ribbon candy while the others put the final touches on the nativity pieces.
As they mend old bathrobe costumes, discuss the politics of who’s going to play the
various roles, little do the ladies know what surprises are in store for them. Known for
their hilarious antics and subtle charm, they are once again called upon to step in and
save the day!
