Set:

The stage is set for a normal Christmas program – but only half finished. There can be partially painted animals on the backdrops, partially painted rafters, doors, etc. A couple of modern items can be added to give it the ‘rehearsal’ feel. I.E. folding chair, metal ladder, tricycle. Something to represent the manger is needed. It can be a completed prop or a ‘stand in’ like a wash basin. Several bales of hay need to be present. A box or chest is somewhere and holds various costumes and props as indicated for the scenes.
