Good Tidings Of Great Joy: Six Advent Dramas

Caspar: I had a strange dream last night, and I woke convinced that we should go in a different way.

Melchior: Odd that you should say that — I had a dream too I am convinced that Herod has no desire to worship the child — he sees him as a threat to his throne. (from “The Wise Men” drama)

Here is a collection of short Advent dramas. The series can be presented with few rehearsals and limited props and costumes. Each drama easily fits within a worship setting. For a longer service, the dramas could be combined and offered as scenes for one complete service.

This series includes:
– Mary and Elizabeth — Advent 1
– The villagers of Nazareth — Advent 2
– Ziph the Shepherd and his Wife Jerah — Advent 3
– Gabriel — Advent 4
– The Innkeeper’s Wife — Christmas Eve
– The Wise Men — Epiphany
