Now in its seventeenth year, and after the film version won several awards at film festivals, this beautiful nativity will be shown both live and in theaters. Through music, poetry, and movement, we follow Mary’s journey to the birth, and the magi’s journey to the child. Critically acclaimed and audience adored, you don’t want to miss This Bird of Dawning.

“It is almost impossible to describe its impact.” -Barbara Bannon, The Salt Lake Tribune
