The Gift of the Magi & The Living Nativity

• Synopsis: (We are performing 2 separate shows during each performance)
  • The Gift of the Magi
    • This heartwarming romantic comedy, narrated by a group of Christmas carolers, tells the story of Della and Jim, who are desperately in love with each other but also very poor. In their attempts to buy each other proper Christmas gifts, a strange twist of fate leads the couple to find the perfect gifts for one another -- but at an unexpected cost. Though they may not have the perfect Christmas, the couple learns about the importance of the gift of love in this beautiful adaptation of the story by O. Henry.
  • The Living Nativity:
    • It’s Christmas Eve, but the members of Fairlawn Church of the Good Shepherd have somehow found themselves waiting in the town jail until the Justice of the Peace can hear their case. It all started when the small country church decided to put on a “living” Nativity for the community. The simple, good-natured church members truly meant no harm. Yet, when one of them decides to convert his mule, Jasper, into a camel, things go awry and the entire Nativity ends up getting arrested and charged with everything from animal cruelty to arson. Their chaotic and hysterical story unfolds as the members plead their case before the Justice of the Peace, trying to justify their actions, which they learn is their true witness for Christ.
