The Christmas season is a great time to share experiences with friends and family, but more importantly a time to share the true meaning of Christmas. “This timeless holiday show becomes a life-changing experience for the whole family, as audience members experience the gospel before their eyes!” states Amy Scrivner, marketing director of The Mystery of Christmas.
Brianna Collins, Artistic Director of Greenleaf Performing Arts Academy shared, “Emmanuel provides a beautiful avenue to spark conversations, see ancient truths in a fresh light, and worshipfully enter into the Advent season with your family!” –
The local productions have adapted to today’s needs. The Mystery of Christmas will be presented live and virtual. This is the second year that a performance of The Mystery of Christmas will be in Spanish which will be on December 18 at 6 p.m. The productions are also examples of professional talent that can assist us in finding the richer meaning of life!
A few of these productions are listed below. Review the Metro Voice Community Calendar of Events for further Christmas productions. Make this Christmas season, one to remember
