Fifty years ago, Marion Avenue Baptist Church put together the very first Live Animal Christmas Play. What started out as a simple production has turned into a Christmas event. Taking place in the church auditorium, the play features a series of theatrical scenes bringing to life the Christmas story. A vast array of animals are included throughout the show. From Mary riding a donkey down the center aisle to a wiseman entering in on a full-sized camel. Enjoy the music of Christmas all throughout the show as the actors sing heart-warming songs of the season. You can find a link to more information about the show including all show times with this news story at KCIIRadio.com. There is a special performance of the Live Animal Christmas Show scheduled exclusively for residents of Washington County on Wednesday, December 11th at 6 p.m. and every performance of the show is free of charge.
