The Nativity Pageant involves hundreds of volunteers from the Knoxville area in a professionally directed pantomime drama. The Pageant combines a cast of 90 fully costumed adults and children, moving narration, realistic sets, authentic costumes, and live animals to create a beautiful and powerful presentation of the Christmas story. A 200-voice choir, accompanied by a 20-member orchestra, provides music. The Pageant has been a traditional part of metropolitan Knoxville’s Christmas celebration for 35 years. The administration is conducted by a volunteer Board of Directors composed of area women representing a variety of Christian denominations. An Advisory Board composed of civic and religious leaders also gives assistance. |
