Wonderful Christmas Pageant, highly recommend
My church did this play for Christmas and it is my favorite Christmas Pageant we've ever done. The kids had so much fun with the lines, some of them being humorous. The congregation was engaged during the entire production. Well written! It did take six practices before my group of kids perfected it, but well worth it.

Great, short play!
This was great! I was looking for a shorter play with few parts for a small church Sunday service. We had about 10 kids, about half could read or were open to speaking. This had a couple of leading speaking roles and each scene had some shorter lines for characters from the Christmas story. The songs are carols. This play came off great! I'm so glad I came across it and wish I had found it much sooner. Too many other plays were long or too many parts or needed more practices than we did, one the week before and one the morning of the service. The kids got to shine and they enjoyed being part of the Christmas story in our church.

Great play, easy to learn, our community loved it.
We had 12 children ages 3-12, many of them 7 and under. It worked out perfectly and the audience loved the jokes, as well as the traditional storyline. It also included the audience. I would recommend this play to anyone.

Works well if you have someone that can lead a children's choir.
Sweet Christmas Nativity play. Would recommend for a small to a large group.
