Hi everyone!

I’m pleased to report that we have blocked all of ACT 1, and will be moving into ACT 2 this week. While my casting decisions were tough, I have to say that my cast is doing an AMAZING job! Especially considering we have not been able to (understandably) get into the Playhouse yet, so we have been rehearsing at my church which, given the context of our play, is quite appropriate! We will continue there this Wednesday and Sunday, and then move into the Playhouse a week from next Monday, November 2 - yeah!

In the meantime, please check out this site:

Thanks to our producer Derek (who also happens to be my husband! for setting up all sorts of great souvenirs we can purchase. I hope you find something there you like! I’d love to see everyone sporting t-shirts prior to our show opening as another means of promotion.

Lastly, on promotion, don’t forget to spread the word…while we’ve sold over 400 tickets (yeah!) I’d love for this to sell out!! Thank you - I’ll post more soon!

I am delighted by our first read-through tonight! A director always hopes upon selecting their cast that they will, even from the initial reading, breathe life into the characters, and this was certainly the case this evening. A huge THANK YOU to my amazing crew, particularly Claudia, Tony and Derek, and to all the parents for allowing me to spend time with their children over the next couple months. We will be rehearsing in my church for the next few weeks until the Playhouse is available in November. It’s never too early to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas, and while last year’s show was amazing, I look forward to making this THE Best Christmas Pageant Ever!
