SCENE 5
(The traveling group now stands in front of the stable. The stable
doors are closed, as before. Maxine and Riley meet them,
smiling.)
MAXINE: Welcome back, my friends.
WOLFGANG: The stable looks different than before.
MAXINE: There's much that is different. Come inside … and see.
(Maxine and Riley open the doors of the stable, revealing the full
nativity scene inside with the holy family around a manger.
Vivian, Mackenzie, and several others stand in the background.
The group approaches the manger with hushed awe. The
following lines are spoken over the quiet underscore.)
SoundFX: "Away in a Manger"
PIPER: (gently) Look. It's a baby …
DAKOTA: … wrapped in cloths … and lying in a manger.
WOLFGANG: Exactly as the angel said.
GABBY: (softly, sincere) Oh. "Glory to God."
WOLFGANG: (thoughtfully, with new meaning) Yes. "Glory to God in the
highest. And on earth peace to those on whom his favor
rests."
MAXINE: We're so happy you're here.
RILEY: How did you find us?
GABBY: We received some very specific directions …
WOLFGANG: … and knew exactly who we were looking for.
RILEY: And who was that?
WOLFGANG: The angel said that today a Savior has been born, in the city
of David!
