Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School will debut its Christmas production Lux Nativitas, a celebration of the birth of Christ, on Saturday, December 14, and Tuesday, December 17, at 7 p.m. The show will be staged at the Rearden Theater on the school’s campus.

This full-scale, immersive production will feature live music, circus arts, dance, and Scripture readings that bring the Gospel account of Jesus’ birth to life. Lux Nativitas is Latin for “The Light of the Nativity,” which is appropriate since the production focuses on the true meaning of Christmas.

One of a kind production

“This is truly a one-of-a-kind production,” said Artistic Director Joshua Miller. “With live music, stunning visuals, and professional-level performances, Lux Nativitas is unlike anything we’ve done before at Rabun Gap. We invite the entire community to experience this celebration of the joy, peace, hope, and love of the season.”

The production engages students and faculty from all three divisions of Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School, demonstrating the school’s dedication to creative excellence and its commitment to the community.

Reflection of the Advent Season

Lux Nativitas is a beautiful reflection of the Advent season,” said School Chaplain Ozu Meijia. “We are committed to sharing the story of Christ’s birth—the real reason for the season—and inviting our community to celebrate the hope and light of this special time together. It’s a perfect way for families and churches to join us in this new tradition and come together in worship and celebration.”
