Stable seeks a Black baby Jesus

ORGANISERS of a unique event celebrating Christmas would like to hear from a young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander family who want to play the role of baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph.

The Stable At Riverway promotes goodwill and happiness for people of all ages. This year is the production’s 21styear. It will be held in Townsville from December 18-22 and is free to see.
