We invite you to join First Baptist Joplin for our annual Christmas Dessert Theater!

Auditions are underway for the annual Live Nativity, and let’s just say… finding the perfect cast might take a Christmas miracle!

There’s an aspiring angel who thinks the Christmas story could use a little Broadway flair, a wise man who’s convinced he’s the smartest person in the room, and a teenage Mary who’s more interested in her phone than the manger. Add in a reluctant Joseph who would rather be watching sports, a wannabe Hollywood star determined to give King Herod his moment in the spotlight, two shepherds who might be in for the surprise of their lives, and a busy mom who can barely find time to audition, and you’ve got a cast that’s anything but ordinary!

With big personalities, unexpected surprises, and plenty of hilarious moments, these auditions are anything but ordinary. But as the cast begins to come together, each character discovers something far more important than landing the perfect role.

Filled with laughter, heart, and beautiful Christmas music, The Greatest Story Ever Told reminds us that Christmas isn’t about being in the spotlight. It’s about celebrating the One who stepped into our world to bring hope, love, and salvation.
