Description

Join us as we "turn back the clock" to an era long before the first Christmas. As time progresses and the years unfold, we listen to the narratives of Isaiah and Zechariah. We observe with astonishment as the elderly, childless couple, Zechariah and Elizabeth, receive the blessing of their son, John. We marvel at the moment when Mary learns that she has been chosen to bear God's Son into the world. And we gaze with affection upon the manger scene as Jesus, the Messiah, is born in a modest cattle stall in Bethlehem. Both delightful and amusing, 'Twas the Year Before Christmas is an ideal selection for church children's choirs, Christian schools, or Sunday schools. It is adaptable and straightforward to teach. The performance lasts approximately 20 minutes.
