Meeting at the Manger

Book By: Dave Tippett
Play #: 1239
Pages: 28 pgs
Cast: Flexible cast of 23 (Approx. 8 m, 9 w, 2 flexible, 4 children, extras)

The church's Christmas play rehearsal is a disaster. The actors haven't had time to learn their lines and they're tripping and falling over each other. During a much needed break, Wendy, a busy lady playing Mary, complains to the new janitor, an old man, that she feels in all the holiday hustle and bustle she has lost God. He urges Wendy to pray. She does, and with a renewed sense of hope and vigor, calls the rest of the cast back on stage. But a mishap occurs and the janitor is knocked down. As he rises, we see the nail-hole scars in the palms of his hands. Confused, the actors ask who he is. In a strong, young voice he answers he is "The Way" and tells them all that only through a special, personal meeting with Christ at the manger, can we learn to slow down and know Him...again. About 60 minutes.
