A Class Nativity

On the first “official” day of the Christmas season what better way to start the celebrations than to see a Nativity and hear traditional Christmas music.

A Class Nativity (the story of an ass, a lass and the rest of the class) had been written by members. It was evident that those taking part were really enjoying themselves, and it gave the audience many laugh-out-loud moments. The traditional Nativity story was told by adults playing children who then played the Holy family, angels, shepherds, kings and of course the animals. It highlighted the many hilarious goings on which you have no doubt witnessed at some point if you have ever attended a children’s play, with appropriate and some unusual music throughout; Herod (Graeme Smith) singing “I’m Bad” was very funny as was “Joseph” (Daniel Dryden) singing Elvis! There was jealousy over casting, waving at the audience, dodgy props, a “toilet” incident and a donkey who upstaged the entire cast!  Every cast member did well but a special mention for Lynn Greenfield as the donkey – she was hilarious.

The “Festive Finale” consisted of the cast changing into their “adult” attire and singing a selection of Christmas music.

The afternoon’s entertainment was certainly full of Christmas spirit and sent the audience on their way with smiles on their faces.
