Dear Patron of Glorious Christmas Nights,
In the spirit of the local car commercial, “Don’t tell me what you can’t do. Tell me what you can do!” Glorious Christmas Nights is moving outside with a 30-minute, walk-through live nativity. We will call it Glorious Bethlehem Nights! December 9-13.
This fully orchestrated, live musical will tell the story of the birth of Jesus as you venture through the little town of Bethlehem (artistic license applied:). At gloriouschristmasnights.com, you will be able to reserve a place in one of our 17 30-minute performances. Each performance will have a 300-person capacity to provide plenty of space for social distancing. All performers will have masks as part of their costume. (live animals excluded:) You will be encouraged to wear a mask as well.
No physical ticket will be required, but your online reservation will be necessary for entrance. We will record your reservation and check you in through multiple entrances, kind of like you are coming to Bethlehem for the census and to be taxed. Don’t worry; you won’t be taxed! Your entry will be complimentary.
Since you are special part of the GCN Patron family, I will be honest that we could use your financial help in pulling this off. Any sponsorship you could provide when you are making your online reservation will be greatly appreciated but not required. For those of you able to contribute, we have estimated that if all reservations are filled, $10 per person would cover our expenses.
You have been so supportive of our ministry for many years, and we don’t want to stop performing with our cast and crew this year, so we are going to do what we can do: Glorious Bethlehem Nights! You will receive updates and additional information at gloriouschristmasnights.com.
Sincerely,
Bob Laughlin, Pastor of Performing Arts, WEAG
Please let me know if any more shows become available. This is truly a blessed Christmas tradition for our family and hope that you will have another show added so that we may get 4 tickets for this out door event ,Thank you!
Hi Betty,
Opening night proved that we could responsibly increase capacity and still have appropriate distancing between family units. So, we have re-opened online reservations until “sold out.”

I went on line and received confirmation for 2 tickets on Dec 9th at 8:00. In error i deleted the email. Can it be resent
Hi Teresa,
You actually do not need to show tickets upon entry. Simply provide your reservation name.
Enjoy!

Just to clarify. Patrons are not sitting. .. We are doing a 30 min walk thru…. 6 feet apart
Hi Vickie,
Actually, to make social distancing easier for attendees, it’s not really a walk-thru. Attendees walk to where they want to sit/stand in the viewing area and stay in place as the show happens around them. The show length is 32 mins. You are welcome to move during the show if you feel that others are too close.

I was hoping you would add a few more shows so I just wanted to check back. It doesn’t look as though you have changed anything so I thought I would ask.

I have a reservation for 2 people for the 8pm show on Thursday. (The reservation is made under the name of Kim Alford.) I would like to bring 1 extra person. Can I do this? Also, is seating provided, or do we need to bring our own chairs/blankets?
Hi Deb,
Yes, it is fine to bring an additional person as we have more capacity than we allowed for online reservations. There are a number of benches for seating though we are advising attendees to consider bringing a lawnchair. Many folks are standing as the show is only 32 mins long.
