The Christmas Reality Show: Who Wants to be a Wise Man?

Summary: In this comedic Christmas reality show, three contestants compete for the title of "The Ultimate Wise Man." They must face various challenges, like following the Christmas star, finding the perfect gifts for baby Jesus, and navigating their way to the manger. Along the way, they encounter numerous obstacles, including each other’s mishaps, and learn that the real meaning of Christmas is not about being perfect, but about the journey of faith. With hilarious characters, audience participation, and a lighthearted message, this play is perfect for a church audience looking for some festive humor.

Cast of Characters:
-Melvin – Contestant 1, nervous, overthinker, struggles with self-confidence. He wears a flashy robe with oversized glasses that keep falling off.
-Gassy – Contestant 2, clumsy and always in a rush, his brain is never quite where it should be. He often carries props like a large scroll he never reads.
-Smarty – Contestant 3, overly confident, believes he’s the smartest in the room but often misinterprets things. Wears a lavish, impractically large crown.
-Host – A lively, over-the-top game show host who keeps the contestants on their toes.
-Mary and Joseph – Judges, sitting on the side. Mary is gentle and encouraging, while Joseph is more laid-back and humorous.
-Angel – A sporadic character that appears when guidance is most needed, usually with comedic flair and a sense of timing.
-Stage Manager (Optional) – Appears occasionally to provide humorous commentary about the state of the show.
