New Christmas play! You know, for kids.

The latest in my series of reverent-irreverent Christmas pageants is now available from Beat by Beat Press.

Called “A Very Mixed-Up Christmas Pageant,” it’s about what happens when all the pageant costumes disappear before dress rehearsal and the pastor, in a panic, tells the kids to wear their Halloween costumes. Is it still a Christmas pageant if Mary is dressed as Captain Marvel, Joseph is Sheriff Woody, and their donkey is a dragon? This short play, with traditional hymns, will make you ponder the true roles that everyone plays in the Christmas story — and bonus, you can use whatever costumes you have on hand. Preview it (for free!) and buy performance rights and accompaniment (for cheap!) at Beat by Beat Press.
