O COME, ALL YE FAITHFUL

Bethlehem takes center stage—literally—in this exuberant and funny rendition of the traditional carol. A host of angels, aka Ye Bethlehem All-Stars, do their best to round up all manner of beasts, including an amusingly stubborn donkey and tap-dancing pigs, for roles in a very special production. Plenty of pushing, pulling and coaxing ensues until everyone takes their places—just in time to adore the newborn Christ child. Christiana's (White Nineteens) gouaches, dominated by pale grays, browns and pinks, provide a fresh yet fittingly respectful look at the Nativity. A page of musical notation is included for those who wish to try a performance at home. All ages. (Oct.)
