What would it be like to have an angel crash into your house and to say that you'd soon be bearing God's child? And what would it be like to tell that news to your fiancé? The Christmas play, DoveTale  (taped in front of a live audience), takes on such questions for a fresh and funny look at the nativity.

 

Nationally-known comedy/theater duo Ted & Lee, along with award-winning playwright Ingrid De Sanctis, authored the script and portray all 11 characters in it. The play finds gentle humor and moments of epiphany as Mary (Ingrid), Joseph (Ted), and Gabriel (Lee) stumble through the gritty realities of God becoming human. Other minor characters weigh in as well: a couple of earthy shepherds, a verbose innkeeper, chatty Elizabeth and her mute husband Zechariah, and a wedding photographer.

 

Includes special bonus material as the actors talk about the writing and their favorite moments in the play. Includes clips from the very first DoveTale performance, out-takes, and interviews with the actors.

 

DVD: $25
