Rehearsals for the Christmas program at church this week have been.....long...yawn...but fun. We've already logged over 16 hours this week and it's only Thursday. The first show is tomorrow night and we're all excited for it to get here!
Some of the funniest occurrences thus far involve that shorter members of the cast. Our little 3-year-old showstopper wears a wireless mic that gets turned on just prior to the curtain opening. Over the past few nights, the auditorium has heard (over the band's intro music), "Mommy, are my microphones on?", "Mommy, I have to tell you something...", "Is it time to go yet?", "We get to take our places now?"
So freaking adorable.
Last night, one of the junior high kids was attempting to step over a row of folding auditorium seats, when his foot slipped in between the cushion and backrest, leaving him "high centered." His feet didn't quite reach the floor, resulting in pain, humiliation in front of his friends, and much hilarity. I think he's singing soprano now.
There's been a fair share of stubborn livestock, scenery malfunctions, and forgotten lyrics, but hopefully all that will subside with our final dress rehearsals tonight.
It's been a wild ride so far and I'm blessed to be a part of it! Come see the show!
