How To Produce "The King Is Here"

     The King Is Here can be produced very simply on a small stage or platform, which would be available in most schools and churches. It has actually been performed without a stage. In the productions that I have directed, we used only basic lighting. If available, occasional spot lights may be used, as desired, for the skits, dialogues, etc. I have always used 3 to 4 microphones in conjunction with the orchestral sound trax, which were played through a sound system. It is possible, however, to produce this with as little as a boom box, or to play the music live on a piano, keyboard, or guitar, using the lead sheets. If available, a drummer and bass player may be added, making a contemporary rock band. There are no vocal harmonies; the music is simple, appropriate for group singing or solos, if desired. This musical contains a total of 23 narrations and dialogues of various lengths which may be performed by a series of chosen narrators. Most are interspersed throughout the book, but three of them are included as a prelude on the lead sheets with the songs. The songs including narration are "The Boy in the Temple," "The Lord’s Prayer," Triumphal Entry," and "The Great Commission." Skits (actions during songs and narratives) are optional. Suggestions are included with the readings throughout the book.

Costumes are a major consideration in producing this play. They may be simple, for example, bath robes & bed sheets, or more elaborate, such as hand made or purchased costumes. Most characters require only a robe and head covering. A few characters may need more specialized costumes. For example, Jesus could be dressed in a white robe and head covering. Kings and queens would likely wear red or purple robes & crowns. If animals are desired during "Mary and Joseph," they may be dressed in sweats and masks.

Props include crowns for royalty may be purchased inexpensively, or made from gold or silver tinsel or pipe cleaner. A large baby doll may be used for Baby Jesus. Various characters could carry swords or spears during certain scenes.
