Blue Christmas

[chicago]

For those in the Chicago are (or who are passing through this time of year), I thought I’d pass along information from an email I received. This is an excellent, fun, and short play about the Christmas story. Appropriate for all ages. Hopefully, you’ll be able to make it out and see it somewhere this season.

Subject: Blue Nativity 5th Anniversary Tour! - Join us tonight!

“Highly Recommended these ten-foot-tall apparitions invoke all the grandeur of angels on parade!”
~ Mary Shen-Barnage, Chicago Reader 2004

“A slow procession of puppets richly cloaked in robes of indigo, violet, turquoise and lavender moved slowly down the aisle…Blue Nativity, a show that uses puppetry and song to tell the tale of Christ’s birth in a colorful 31-minute spectacle.”
~Leigh Fellers,
Chicago Tribune 2003
