IThe Story
This holiday season, Prodigal Road Ministries invites our community to take its place in an original dance production following the timeless story of the Wisemen. Through movement, music, faith, and storytelling, The Journey of the Magi traces the path of those who followed the Star and found Jesus.
This is more than a performance. It is a community effort bringing together dancers, families, churches, and neighbors to create a sacred story through dance. Local participants of different ages, backgrounds, skill levels, and experience are welcome.
Every person who auditions will receive a role. Auditions are held so Sharnice Taylor Farmer can recognize each participant's strengths and place them where they will shine most brightly within the story.

IIIHow Participation Works
Complete the online form or register in person at auditions.
Sharnice will evaluate movement, interests, experience, and where each participant can best serve the story.
Every person who auditions receives a role. Sharnice assigns the corresponding registration level.
Registration fees are given directly to Sharnice Taylor Farmer, either in cash or by check made payable to Prodigal Road Ministries.
Once Sharnice finalizes the assignment, the system automatically emails the participant or parent or guardian with the role, level, fee, inclusions, personal items required, and rehearsal information.

There is no online payment. This website does not include a checkout page, payment button, payment link, or card field. Registration fees are paid only in person, by cash or check, to Sharnice Taylor Farmer at auditions.
