Imagine Christmas as you've never seen it before.
Relive the story of Christ's birth through fresh eyes.
Recapture the wonder of God's miraculous gift to this earth.
Imagine Christmas is a unique, imaginative and highly-visual program for this Christmas season! This biblically-sound narrative ties fast-paced scenes with fresh arrangements of traditional Christmas music. Imagine Christmas tells the story of Christmas in a uniquely visual way. A telling that is somewhere between our memory and our imagination. Based on solid Biblical content this telling of the story invokes child-like wonder, awe, amazement. Laugh as you see two angels wondering why they've been left out of the choir that announces Jesus' arrival. Soak in the eloquent scripture text of the Christmas story beautifully portrayed by video transitions between scenes. Marvel at the simple portrayal of Jesus' arrival through the hope He brings to all people.

Willow Wow... but not for me! I am very impressed with the level of professional quality that went into not only the product but the production as well. So much could be said for that alone. All the extra element such as rehearsal schedules and set mock ups along with the live director/crew audio of the production were amazing... and I said, "WOW!" Willow really knows her stuff and I know God was glorified. I am unable to really utilize it but it did spur our team's creativity which has to be a value at Willow. So thanks for that!

Magical Christmas This script can be adapted to an venue. You don't have to have the aerialist to make this work. We used this for our Christmas Eve services. It was amazing!!!

The Best Play We've Ever Put on This was the best play we've put on in our church. Many people said they wished we had put it on more than once and was very impressed with it.

Medium size church use of a mega church production We used the drama portions of this that centered around the angels, added our own Mary and Joseph piece for them to observe and commentate on and chose contemporary Christian songs that fit.
The angels were a hit. Humor, Awe, Christmas from heaven's perspective. While the acrobats, soloists, kite flyers were way out of our league, the story idea resonated with our congregation and the culture of our area.

Excellent Concept and Great Resources This program was so well received by our congregation. They laughed, clapped, and cried and were filled with wonder. The resource CD and DVD made this so much easier to produce. We didn't do all the aerial stuff...but the program really doesn't need it. We added a vignette to the beginning and end of a little girl telling her grandma the story of Christmas through her eyes. To be honest the scriptures that are on the DVD are a little hard to read, so we had this same little girl read the scriptures (recorded). She also was the child at the end that got to hold the baby Jesus. We also didn't do the kite stuff...we added a children's dance number with the choir singing Avalon's Angels Medley. This is such a customizable piece that it can be new each year you put it on. Highly recommend this one!

Imagine took our Christmas services to the next level! We used Imagine for our 2007 Christmas production. The support resources such as photos of set builds and image files for artwork were a great plus! Our attendance was the highest ever for our Christmas services and people were amazed by the production.
