The Nativity Puppet Show
Grace & Holy Trinity Cathedral 415 W 13th St, Kansas City, Missouri 64105
Written and designed by Paul Mesner, the Nativity was first presented at Grace and Holy Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in December of 1999.
Performances included puppeteers and musicians. In the beginning, puppeteers spoke the lines in the 6 ft puppet costumes and singing was done by the musicians. This arrangement proved very cumbersome for the puppeteers; saying the lines as well as doing the movements of the puppets.
The Nativity is a production comprised of over 40 volunteers, instrumentalists, vocalists, and singers from the community. Those involved range from ages 8-70 and many have been with the production since it’s inception in 1999. The current director, Jesse Schaaf, started that very first year as one of three Sheep.
The annual production has been presented to thousands of Kansas City audiences and is a favorite tradition for many. It is also an opportunity for the Cathedral to provide outreach in an artistic manner.
