Sherman. This year’s performance included Krishwana Cuthbert as Mary and Brandon Johnson as Joseph. The angels were played by Kiani Major and Jasmine Simmons. The Three Kings were played by York Glover, Richard Lewis and Ben Johnson, Jr. Tending their flocks were shepherds Lames Cuthbert, Josephus Jenkins and Maurice Malachi.
