Scene 6
DEVILLE: (thinking out loud) We still have the heart of the story … You may
be right, Ben. Where's that Bible Taylor gave me … there still
may be time to get this right. Bailey, did you get rid of those old
costumes yet?
BAILEY: Oh, no Mr. DeVille, I've been so busy with camels and airplanes
and … I'm sorry. I'll …
DEVILLE: (interrupting) Excellent! Get them and bring them back stage
right away! And Ben, we still have that most important prop
piece, right?
BEN: (smiling) Sure do, Mr. DeVille.
DEVILLE: (as he walks off stage) Alright. I've got some quick writing to do
… or maybe, un-writing!
STORMIE: (on side stage) Biff and Christine, the show is just about to begin
here in Centerton. In my exclusive interview with Cecil V.
DeVille earlier this afternoon, he told me to expect some BIG
surprises. And from what I know so far, I expect them to be
bigger and better than we could even imagine. Right now, I'm
sure Mr. DeVille is backstage delivering one of his legendary
inspirational speeches.
FLUME: This is indeed a disaster! We have no show! And has Mr.
DeVille left town?
BRIGGS: He probably snuck out the back and "departed to his own
country another way!"
BAILEY: (As Bailey and DeVille return) I think everyone is in their places.
FLUME: Mr. DeVille! You're still here?
DEVILLE: Of course! It's time for the show to start, and we have a lot of
people waiting for us to begin.
BRIGGS: Waiting for a "Seasonal Spectacular" that is no longer going to
be very spectacular, I'm afraid.
BEN: I wouldn't be so sure about that, Councilwoman Briggs. This
show may have just gotten smaller, but something tells me it's
just gotten better.
(music begins to "Away in a Manger Medley")
(During the medley, the Nativity characters assemble worshipfully
around the manger.)
