the christmas competition

adrian and i were privileged to direct the Christmas play again this year. it was such a different experience than the last two years.
in the past we have done a huge production with anywhere from 15-25 kids ages 4-12 years old. they have all been musicals and lots of lines. although the kids musicals have been so much fun, they take hours of preperation and are very time consuming.
this year we still wanted to have a christmas play, but didn't want to have to put all those hours into it.
so.......to make a long story short (or is it too late for that?).............we decided on a play that only has adults in it. all adults equals a lot less man hours.
we had so much fun. everyone was hilarious and adrian and i were blessed to have all of them help us out.




the play was called 'the christmas competition'. it was about two families who tried to outdo one another in regards to christmas....and as one of the lines in the play said...'the only two man made structures that can be seen from outer space are the great wall of china and our two houses.'
the whole play was filled with hilarious antics and witty quips. everyone played their parts beautifully. my darling husband is quite a character.......... he played the part of one of the husbands who was trying to have the most decorations........of course, the only way to play this part was with a strong new jersey accent that had people in stitches.

so all that to say, the play was a success and adrian and i are excited about next year!!
