Description

Summary: A comedic detective skit where a Bethlehem investigator is on the case to find out who the mysterious baby in the manger is. Interviewing the wise men, shepherds, and animals, the detective pieces together the miracle of Jesus’ birth, all while making humorous misinterpretations along the way.

Characters:
-Detective Sam Shepherd: Over-the-top, dramatic investigator who thinks every clue is suspicious. Comically misinterprets the situation.
-Officer Jude: Detective Shepherd’s earnest but often confused assistant.
-Angel Gabriel: The calm, confident, and slightly sarcastic heavenly messenger who gives Shepherd a hard time.
-Mary: Patient and kind, the mother of Jesus, often amused by the detective’s blunders.
-Joseph: Protective and practical, always trying to get Shepherd back on track.
-Shepherd #1 (Levi): An excited and slightly starstruck witness who keeps losing track of the story.
-Wise Man #1 (Caspar): The scholarly one, always serious.
-Wise Man #2 (Balthazar): The jokester of the wise men.
-Cow: A slow-speaking, deadpan witness.
-Donkey: A dramatic, self-important witness who exaggerates his role.
-Narrator: Sets the tone of the crime show and keeps the mystery moving.
