Are you looking for a play for a church Christmas pageant?

Bethlehem Barn is a light-hearted retelling of the traditional Christmas story.  Kirkus reviews said, "...Westgate-Silva's sense of humor makes the retelling enjoyable--and perhaps a good choice to adapt for a church Christmas pageant."


So that's what we did!  


If you put on this play, please send me photos!

Bethlehem Barn
