PPC Reality TV at Jesus’ Birth
Characters: Worldly producer – very arrogant, loud and pushy
Worldly Director: - The one who first got the scoop.
Scene: Traditional Christmas with Mary and Joseph holding the Baby Jesus smiling lovingly at the child.
Narrator: Telling traditional Christmas story…
The producer and director are talking loudly approaching the manger.
Producer: Are you sure it’s here?
Director: I was told to follow the star and it stops right here.
Producer: You say this baby is king of kings and savoir of the world. What is that awful smell?
Director: Animals!!
Producer: Animals! They are all over the place!
Director: This is a manager.
Producer: There they are. (running to Mary and Joseph) Joseph I am from PPC Reality TV. The whole world wants to know the real story and see it live!
Director: Get more light in here! (imaginary or real people)
Producer: Joseph – the story goes your wife Mary is a virgin?? (poking him) Come on Joseph what is the real story?? Joseph just smiles and points to the baby
Producer: Mary come on tell the truth. How is this possible? The world wants to know!! She smiles and points to the baby in wonder
Producer to the Director: What is wrong with these people all they are doing is smiling they seem to be from another world.
Producer: (I know how to get a reaction) – Mary how come you don’t have a decent room – seeing you had to give birth and all. Come on Mary aren’t you just a little upset not having a decent place to stay in?
Mary: This is perfect – Have you seen the Baby?
Producer: Babies don’t interest me much…
Suddenly 3 – 4 Shepards come in and kneel before the baby.
The Director tries to get them to get up – no! no! kneeling isn’t cool. Stand up – get up
but the Shepards won’t get up.
The Producer talks to the Shepards. I’m from PPC Reality TV. We’re here to get the real scoop on this baby king. How did you guys hear about this?
Shepard: Angels
Producer: An Angel told you? Now this might be interesting! Give me details. So an angel told you..
Shepard: No! not one angel. LOTS OF ANGELS!! LOTS and LOTS of ANGELS
Shepard 2: They were singing like a HUGE HEAVENLY CHOIR –
Shepard 3: it was amazing and THE KING IS REALLY HERE! (all nodding in agreement)
Producer: An angel choir – come on who is going to believe this!
Producer to the Director: First you make me travel for hours following a star - to get to this little Town I never heard of called Bethlehem - to see this king born in a manger to a virgin mother – surrounded by animals that smell!
All these people do is smile and look happy –
Then shepards come in saying they heard a choir of angels singing – THEY’RE EXCITED ABOUT A BABY KING IN A MANGER!! too weird no one will believe this. Let’s go! Producer leaves (angry)
Director starts to leave but turns back and falls to his knees in front of Baby Jesus and says this is real.
