The Christmas Stand-ins, A Christmas Comedy - KJV Version

Meet the Allworths, a typical American family, though in the throes of a minor crisis. Ernest Allworth who, at his worst, can be a bit of a pessimist and hypochondriac, fears he will be laid off. Shirley Allworth, an optimist and meticulous organizer, has agreed to direct the children’s Christmas pageant this year. They are at odds over Ernest’s part in the play. The Allworths’ three children, Megan (11), Elizabeth (5), Anna (13 months), are in the pageant. The family’s effort to recreate the birth of the Savior in the church pageant will be the turning point in their family crisis.
    Each character learns the truth of John the Baptist's words, "He must increase, but I must decrease." The message of the play is simply this: Since Jesus took our place on the cross, He deserves to be in the spotlight at Christmas. 
        The full download comes with the play's text, PowerPoint slides to accompany the play, and promotional material (poster and bulletin insert). The play and materials are reproducible.
