Inhalt:

Christmas pageants aren't just for children. The wonderful story of Jesus' birth speaks to all ages and all ages can reenact this traditional celebration. Author, Judy Gattis-Smith takes the traditional Christmas pageant story of the three wisemen and presents it in such a way that all ages can enact, particularly seniors! Three Elderly Wisemen is simple to produce, has lines that are easy to learn and, through a Bible story, deals with real issues seniors face. This play considers the wisemen as "senior citizens" with the same characteristics as senior citizens today. The running time is about one hour and at least fourteen characters are included. The play can also be done as a Readers Theater without costumes, props, or scenery. In this case, the narrator would set the scene, inviting the audience to use their imaginations. Some characters included Melchior Casper Balthazer Aalijah (wife of Melchior) Judy Gattis-Smith has worked as a teacher, author and workshop leader.
