Nativity Idol

On Sunday, December 17, at 5:00pm we performed  our annual Christmas play. This year, we featured, “Nativity Idol.” Come laugh along as we discover the story of Christ’s birth anew.

Synopsis:
“This… is Nativity Idol!” Using the same format as the popular TV show, contestants compete for a role in the Christmas pageant. That’s where the similarity ends, however. All the judges are wholly original: the nasty and condescending Prudence Peacock, has-been actress Bea Sting, and aging hippie singer Misty Dawn. Contestants and the role they’re auditioning for include a teen girl with an overbearing stage mother (Mary), a carpenter by trade and a holistic healer on the side (Joseph), a too-good-to-be-true teen with an Air-Miles card (angel), an iPod-obsessed teen (shepherd) and an intellectual who holds Ph.D.s in mathematics, medicine and computer science (wise man). Throughout the hilarious auditions a Nativity tableau slowly builds, and the performance ends in candlelight, with the flame passed from one person to the next in a symbolic gesture of Christ as light of the world.
