Notes: There is very little suggested in the way of dramatic interpretation in this script. This restraint was intentional. The actor may, if he so wishes, add variety to the performance through “pretending” to be the various people to which Hunter refers. Of course, the actor is encouraged to use his imagination in utilizing variety of pitch, rhythm, tempo, volume and emotion in order to create dramatic tension and resolution.

Synopsis: The Bible tells us that Mary “pondered” the wonder of Christ’s birth in her heart. This drama takes a look at some of the things she may well have been thinking. The incarnation is loaded with mystery.
Setting: The stable. Perhaps it could look more like a cave. The drama can take place in either a modern setting or a biblical setting.
Director’s Note: Originally this drama was packaged with a song by Chris Rice called “Welcome to Our World.” Mary sang the song as part of the drama.

Synopsis: Bethlehem is a short walk away from Jerusalem, but Bethlehem became Jerusalem on that memorable night. As Bethlehem’s innkeeper tells about the history of his hotel, of his love for Bethlehem and the wonder of Jesus’ birth he marvels at the irony of God being born in a cave next to a failing business in a town where no one wants to stop.
Setting: An inn. The drama can take place in either a modern setting or a biblical setting.

Time: The present.
Place: A forest.
Synopsis: The character calls himself Everyman, but he clearly is a real person with a real name. He’s an orphan, searching for identity. He grew up in a “stable” home, until everything fell apart. That’s when he found out he didn’t really belong. So, he ran away. In this scene, we see him in his new home, his final destination, the forest.
Author’s notes: This play was originally inspired by a song called “Belong” by Chris Rice (on his album “Smell the Color Nine”). The lyrics to that song fit perfectly with this script and together the script and the song would make a nice “package” for presentations. Currently, however, there is a different song written into the script. If you like, you can omit the current suggestion for music at the beginning and end of the script and substitute “Belong” for that. The song currently suggested is called “I Could Run Away” and it’s by a group called Waterdeep. The Waterdeep song also, of course, fits rather well with the script.
Production notes: This play was first performed by Troy Cady at the Crossroads International Church in Amsterdam, Holland on 3 August, 2003. Kelly Crull performed the Waterdeep song with two or three other musicians. For scenery, we had rather a lot of leaves, branches, old logs, pine needles, pine cones, and such on the stage. The more you can do to suggest the setting of a forest, the better. I would encourage you to use your imagination with the scenery.
