Like Winter Waiting

Like Winter Waiting is a thought-provoking musical play that tells the Advent story with humor, poignancy and joy. It celebrates the anticipation of Christmas the way an expectant mother joyously awaits the birth of her child -- the waiting is a sacred time of reflection, preparation and hope.

Present the play as a choral concert with some spoken parts or as a complete musical play with characters, costumes, a minimal set and even dance. The choral arrangements are accessible to most parishes and can be conveniently rehearsed using the cassette or CD with voice lead-ins. The audience participates by singing the recurring theme song printed in the assembly edition. (For multigenerational groups: adults and children.)
