This time of year I don't need any drama in my life, for its time to live it out in sketches and Christmas musicals, etc. This is MY fave time of the year, becuase I get to direct such dramas!
I started out acting in high school/ college, but like many other thesps, I found my true love in directing and writing!
This year we are doing a Sunday morning piece called , "Remember the Child". It starts out with 2 kiddos telling what they want for Christmas( in excess, of course), then on to teenagers polishing thier lists, with money being at the top of the list. Next is a couple ( who are HILARIOUS btw!) converging schedules and dates and trying to fit everything in to the harried season. Last we find 2 people who guide us through sights and sounds of Christmas until we get back to the reason for the holiday: the birth of Jesus! It is a funny, sentimental, sweet and thoughtful piece that will hoopefully remind us to stop and reflect on Jesus, our Savior whose birth changed EVERYthing!
My next project involves our Sanctuary choir. For the first time, we are involving wise men, shepherds, the whole shabang as far as Christmas musicals go. I am so pumped! All my Tx. Hall days are flooding my memory as we block out these characters, and paint a picture of the nativity!What is different in the Christian acting arena is that we are not performing for ourselves, but we are presenting the gospel, one story at a time! Please pray for me as I juggle this awesome work that God has given me this season and that we will cast new light on the birth and life of our Saviour- Oh come, let us ADORE Him!!
