THE NATIVITY VARIATIONS by Catherine Trieschmann, performed by SotP

Join us for the greatest story ever told! In a small town, auteur theater director Jules leads her experimental community theater troupe in tackling their most ambitious production yet – staging the Christmas pageant at St. Ignatius Church. As their vision for the “greatest-story-ever-told” evolves to include Shakespearean comedy, avant-garde surrealism, fight scenes, and foul-mouthed puppets, Jules must consider the purpose of her art and the meaning of the holiday season. Cynicism meets emotional tenderness in this hilarious holiday offering. Directed by Michael Glavan, produced by Jeannine Gaskin, assistant directed by Lisa L. Wiley, stage managed by Jill England, and assistant stage managed by Allison Harvey - with scenic design by Laura Carlson Tarantowksi, costume design by Sarah Russell, lighting design by Ayron Lord, sound design by Maggie Hamilton, and props design by Stacey Costanzo.
