Why Gary Neal Hansen's Christmas Play?

You want to show the real meaning of Christmas: the story of the coming of Christ into the world, Jesus born of Mary, the Son of God.

It is easy to go wrong in a play about Christmas. In a heartbeat things can get too sweet, or too preachy, or downright tacky.

Despite the best of intentions, plays can even take our attention away from Jesus. Focusing too hard on modern problems like materialism, they can almost forget to show the world-changing story of the coming of Christ.

So you fear that your play will aim too low. You fear missing the once-a-year opportunity to help people see and feel the story of how our salvation began to be revealed.

Gary Neal Hansen's Christmas Play tells the whole biblical story of the coming of Jesus in the Bible's own words. It weaves all the relevant Gospel passages into one seamless drama.

This is the story of the Light coming into a world of shadows -- the Light that darkness can never overcome.
