Encore: Before He Changed Us
Manger. Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus. Cattle are lowing.
Mary:
The baby awakes.
Joseph:
But no crying he makes.
Mary:
Still. He needs changing.
Joseph takes the baby. Lays him down. Picks up a fresh diaper. Unpins the old diaper.
Joseph (recoils):
Holy crap!
Joseph and Mary look at each other in alarm, then break into congenial laughter. A choir of angels descend upon the manger and sing a medley of songs to conclude the evening's presentation.
