Who can deny that Christmas is for children? Our children begin to ask about our Christmas musical by late summer. What are we doing this year? How many parts are there? How many solos?
For several years our children have performed a musical at Christmastime. It is the entertainment for our Annual Family Christmas Dinner on a Saturday night in the middle of December, and it is also performed on the Sunday night following that Dinner.
Participation is voluntary and generally includes any children younger than seventh grade who wish to be involved and are willing to make the commitment to regular rehearsals.
We have performed purchased musicals such as The Bethlehem Project and Joyland as well as our own scripts of various events related to the Birth of Jesus.
So what will it be in 2008? Guess we'll just have to wait and see. But it is guaranteed to be full of enthusiastic, talented and committed children!
