RGT PRESENTS ‘A MAGI*CAL CHRISTMAS: A STORY DISCOVERED BETWEEN THE LINES OF SCRIPTURE’
POST— Only in the Gospel of Matthew do readers find a very brief account of “wise men” who came from the east, following a star to Bethlehem, and bearing gifts for the newborn King of the Jews. The passage leaves a lot of unanswered questions.
We don’t know who they were, or specifically where they came from. Where did they receive the knowledge they possessed, which compelled them to undertake such an arduous journey? And while gold seems an appropriate tribute to a newborn king, incense and embalming oil seem to be strange choices, regardless of how poetic“frankincense and myrrh”may sound.
In a new original play, A Magi*cal Christmas, Ragtown GospelTheater in Post will be offering a fresh and funny look at these mystical visitors.“Not only will this show be fun and entertaining,”say organizers,“but it offers a revelation of the reason for their pilgrimage that may give you a completely new way of thinking about the birth and early life of Christ.”
A Magi*cal Christmas premiered Saturday, Nov. 2 at 3:00 p.m. Choose one of six performance dates and gather a group of family and friends to experience it with you. With a special Christmas concert starting things off, it will truly be a Magi*cal Christmas at Ragtown.
