Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dennis Hartin has created a wonderful and humorous way to help children, youth, and perhaps even some adults to learn the differences between how the Christmas story is told in the books of Matthew and Luke. Act One tells the Christmas story as we learn it from the book of Matthew, complete with Joseph, Mary, Herod and Magi. Acts Two and Three tell the story as found in Luke; you hear from Gabriel, Zachariah, Elizabeth, Mary, Joseph, shepherds, and the Herald Angel. Double-Take! is designed for a production with no set, no budget, no live musical accompaniment, and where the cast reads from their scripts. Only two full cast rehearsals are needed. The cast is arranged so that only one speaker appears in more than one act. The group can rehearse all three acts (not including the music) during the first rehearsal! Vocal/piano scores for the sung music selections of the pageant are included. Length: 35-45 minutes Cast: Up to 20 or more speaking parts, plus additional opportunities for non-speaking parts
