Nazareth High: The Announcement

Length: 10 Minutes | Cast: 8–12 Teens | Genre: Comedy with Heart
Theme: God Interrupts the Ordinary

Summary

In this modern retelling of Luke 1, an ordinary school day at Nazareth High is flipped upside down when an angel suddenly appears in the hallway. Mary, an overwhelmed teen juggling friendships, homework, and self-doubt, receives an announcement that feels both impossible and deeply personal. Friends react in dramatic, hilarious, and confused ways while Joseph, busy in shop class, processes things in his quiet, practical manner.
 With humor and warmth, this skit shows how God steps into ordinary places — even the noisy hallways of a high school — to deliver extraordinary news.
