This year, the show will return to its original artistic roots, with Act I portraying the journey of Mary and Joseph as they pushed through adversity to achieve their destiny in bringing the Savior into the world. Act II takes us to a modern-day church that has just bounced back from a terrible flood. The colorful congregation shares its stories of thankfulness and deliverance with the audience as they recount their own personal journeys.
