This sketch is a lighthearted retelling of the angel's visit to Joseph before he attempted to divorce Mary. In a contemporary setting (complete with stereotypic Jewish accents), a good Jewish boy, Joseph, awakens his good Jewish parents in the middle of the night to tell them that he's had an encounter with an angel. His wife to be, Mary, is pregnant and will have a child, God's son-or so says the angel. Mom and dad can't believe it. They argue, with each other, with Joseph-and in the end admit they will try to stay open but that it will be hard to accept the loss of honor to their family name. Joseph replies this willingness to sacrifice reputation is not merely for the love of a woman, it is for the love of his God. He can do no other.Topics: CHRISTMAS, GOD'S CALLCharacters: 2 MALES, 1 FEMALEParticipants: 3Author: Sharon Sherbondy
