Parents, it takes a lot of effort to make our Christmas Production happen. This is an opportunity for our kids to learn more about the Lord and His faithfulness, to invest in community with other children, and to learn and be equipped to spread the Gospel in a beautiful way. This program is very special and dear to us, so we want to make sure you link arms with us to help our children have the best time. - Our play this year is called "A night full of stars" and the link to listen to the play is here: https://littlebigstuff.com/musicals/a-night-full-of-stars/ The Script is available under the Soundcloud playlist, if you want to read along as you listen to the play with your kids. - Our first rehearsal day is on September 10th at 4pm in the Kids Auditorium. - Kids 5 and 6 year olds will be placed in the choir cast. - Kids 7 through 12 years old can audition for acting parts and/or solos. -Auditions will happen on August 20th at 11am in the Student Auditorium. The Script for that is available on our dropbox account labeled "AUDITION SCRIPT". On the audition day, your kid must come prepared to present the scene, and a song of their choice if they would like a solo as well, and 2 or 3 character options that they would like to play. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/shl46llzdqaeiqccqj9q9/2023-AUDITION-SCRIPT.pdf?rlkey=im8wutxyswzqocntqpv8mb8nc&dl=0 - Rehearsals will happen every Sunday (except Thanksgiving week) from 4pm-5:30pm in the Kids Auditorium - The Kids are allowed to miss 2 rehearsals if they are in the actors cast, and up to 4 if they are in the choir cast, during this season. We ask that you work with them at home to make them confident for the rehearsals. - All kids are required to attend the dress rehearsal on Saturday, December 2nd, from 10am-2pm. - Our requirement is for one parent to volunteer at least one week during the rehearsals to help this time go as smoothly as possible. Parent volunteers would help with things like snack prep and clean-up, and general behavioral assistance if we need to redirect kids attention for any reason. Thank you for your love and support! We are so excited to build your kids up, and help them tell the most beautiful story ever written: the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ!
