  3. The Kindness of Mangers


"Whoever you are - I've always depended on the kindness of strangers," says Blanche just before the doctor takes her away. Stella (Smith) cries and cries, holding her recently-hatched baby. She watches her sister go bye bye, and then turns around assuming she'll see all of her husband's drunk friends still playing poker in her living room. Nope! Rather, she turns around and finds herself in Bethlehem. Pregnant all over again. With the Son of God? Surrounded by allergy-inducing hay, livestock that can talk, and a rude innkeeper named Cathy Moriarty, The Not-So-Virgin Stella must come to terms with her new reality - all the while on the brink of giving birth. With no sense of what's going on and no room at the inn, Stella has no choice but to depend on... the kindness... of... mangers.

Written and Performed by Tyler Anthony Smith. Directed by Stephanie Shaw. 

Jenna Raithel (Stage Manager), Rick Paul (Set Design), Kate Setzer Kamphausen (Costume Design), Keith Ryan (Wig Design), Ricki Jay Pettinato (Lighting Design), Zoë Pike (Graphics), Larry Hart (Photography), Kelly Anchors (Executive Producer/Usherette), and Max McKune (Also Usherette).
