Raks Nativity is a new take on the Christmas Pageant.  While following the original plot, the scenes are illustrated with Middle Eastern Dance influences.  Mary is visited by the glorious Archangel Gabriel.  The shepherds dance a traditional cane dance from Egypt, while their sheep cavort in the fields.  The three magi make tehir journey to the court music of Moorish Spain, whiel the little drummer boy plays his heart out for the Holy Family and their well-wishers.  It's the Christmas Pageant as you've never seen it before.

In the Christmas spirit, the show benefits a children's charity, given teh connection of gift-giving to a family in need.  The show benefits Cradles to Crayons, whose mission is to provide, free of charge, low-income and homeless children from birth to age twelve with teh basic essentials they need to be safe, warm, ready to learn and valued.  All profits from the event will be donated to the charity.
