Synopsis

Mary is waiting to give birth to the son of God, while Joseph dreams of a career as a stand-up comedian.

With constant interruptions from the innkeeper, an angel who talks like Jimmy Stewart, and a group of carolers providing background music, it’s up to a homeless man named Jesus to keep the holiday in perspective.

(This short play can also be performed as part of the full-length play 'Twas the Night Before... )
