Mary and Joseph meet 50’s in Regent X-mas musical
Students at Regent Academy alongside the Embassy Church are putting on a production this Christmas that will get most of Prince Albert toe tappin’ along.
‘Past, Present and BABY!’ offers a fresh perspective on the Joseph and Mary story and the birth of Christ, as well as tying in the classic Charles Dickens tale ‘A Christmas Carol’.
“Joseph finds out that Mary is pregnant and he kind of freaks out because he knows that it’s not his kid,” said Meghan Mayer, producer and director of the musical. “Three angels come from the past the present and the future and they show him what this baby means to the world.”
The musical is presented during the 1950’s but visits both the past and future while offering special musical numbers from these various time periods as well.
