Should traditional nativity plays include pop songs and aliens?There is nothing wrong in putting a modern twist to this very old story. Having the yearly task of producing the programme at the infants school where I worked for over 20 years, I looked forward to the different and imaginative ways the audience were entertained, including 'stars' dancing to Abba tracks, 'kangaroos' bouncing across the stage, and the odd spaceman floating in from stage right. Firstly you have to find a way to include a large number of pupils, (there can only be one Joseph and Mary and you can't have 60 shepherds) and then you have to keep those young children interested. A quirky song or character does that but doesn't need to detract from the essential nativity story, which is still being portrayed.
