Production Notes

This play, Born, One Of Us, is designed to be used in the church service at any time during the Christmas season; perhaps it is particularly appropriate for Christmas Eve. The play is preceded by three persons reading paraphrased portions of scripture (chapters and verses indicated) concerning Bethlehem. These readings should be read dramatically. The readers may sit in side or front pews. A music stand may be placed beside each one to be carried on and off for the readings. A litany, for leaders and congregation, is included and may be used after the play. If there is to be a candlelight service, the Christmas candle may be placed on a table, up center stage, or at a convenient spot nearby. Some hymns are suggested, but anthems, solos, and so forth may be used at will.
