Based on scripture, the drama was written by Albany playwright and Fandangle founder, the late Robert Nail. First performed in 1939, the pageant is produced every two years by Albany citizens as a gift to residents of the region. The production is performed in a series of painting-like tableaus that come to life to present the Christmas story. Detailed costumes and live vocal music are a traditional part of the production.
