Description

This year Times Square Church is taking its Christmas presentation to the street.

Event Details

“Bethlehem on Broadway,” is an original Times Square Church production that will bring the birth of Christ to life with a cast of 100+ actors and live animals, right outside our church doors on West 51st Street, between Broadway and 8th Avenue. There will be live animals, including llamas, alpacas, donkeys and sheep at the Broadway entrance to 51st Street.

The street itself is the stage and the people will be part of the experience– walking with the shepherds as they hear the news, following the star with the three kings arriving from afar, singing with the angels proclaiming his birth and being filled with awe and wonder when they see the baby born in a manger destined to save the world. The production will include new musical arrangements of traditional Christmas carols as well as original songs. Performances will run about 40 minutes in length.

Activities for the Whole Family
The festivities are not limited to 51st street. The day will be filled with events for the entire family. “The Gift of Christmas: A Puppet Production,” for children 12 and under, will have three performances in the church’s state-of-the-art puppet theater. Our annual Christmas Market in the lower lobby, will be open all day, featuring an impressive selection of hand-crafted gifts from around the world. Proceeds from the Christmas market will benefit ChildCry, our ministry which feeds hungry children in 20 countries.

Tours of the Mark Hellinger Theatre
Times Square Church will also be conducting tours of our home, the Mark Hellinger Theatre, a landmark built by Warner Brothers in 1929 and considered one of Broadway’s architectural jewels. Tours will be conducted throughout the day, starting at 10:30 a.m.
