TO THE CASTLE combines music, disarming humor, a clever story line and easily understood characters to invite audiences to see themselves as flawed-but-faithful stewards of God's blessings. The residents of a medieval castle prepare for the surprising return of their King. Before the King arrives, each of them shares with a lowly sty warden (a pig keeper) a personal understanding and practice of stewardship.

In the end, though, it is their surprising Ruler who teaches them the true meaning of God-graced stewardship, and encourages them in their lives of service to God's will.
