auditions

Last Monday we held auditions for our Christmas play…when the kids are all under 8 years old and there are no speaking parts I would never have imagined having auditions but there we were with papers in our hands to rate the various “actors.” The problem was that the 3rd graders of course would do the best the first time around…they know the story and they understand more of our English directions of where to walk and what movements to portray. But I think we got it figured out and have a selection of children to play the different parts (Mary, Joseph, innkeeper, registrar, angel, king, wise men, star holder, angel choir (all the rest of the girls) and shepherds (all the rest of the boys). Rehearsals have been going on all week and will continue through the month. We did have to change out our Joseph as he didn’t want to walk with our Mary but that comes with using children in our performances Our performance will be on November 25th in the church…I hope we’ll be ready (and I do think we will be)…
