In this Christmas time comedy by Jeff Goode, author of The Eight: Reindeer Monologues from our 2008-09 season, Jesus was a child star who faded into obscurity and everyone involved in the Nativity has seen their lives fall into ruins. Now, 30 years after his birth, The Ghosts of Nativities Past converge on Bethlehem to try to teach Jesus the true meaning of Christmas.

Directed by Rarely Done Artistic Director Dan Tursi, "Christmas 2: It's A Wonderful Nativity" features Daryl Acevedo ("Jesus"), Josh Taylor ("John the Baptist"), Patricia Catchouny ("Virgin Mary"), Anne Fitzgerald ("Angel"), Tom Nacy Warner ("Santa"), Alan Stillman ("Orient King"), Michaela Oney ("Orient Queen"), Shannon Tompkins ("Shepherd Lass"), Zach Siracuse ("Sheep"), Jodie Baum ("Maggie") and Derek Potocki ("Roman").
