One Day Off

Well, the rehearsals are over and we have a day off  before the REAL performances begin. It's that time of the year again. With more people in the cast this year, it is a full house on the platform for the passion play 'the Mystery'. The passion play runs March 31 to April 3. Check out  http://www.millwoodsassembly.ca/   There is excitment as the new participants hustle about wondering if they will remember their lines, or their places, or if the person standing beside them will remember theirs! Andy, the donkey, is ready to go. He seems to be the only one who is relaxed. He does his part well and then he gets fed so he has great motivation! Hey, maybe we should do that as well.

One of the pharisee's had to leave the production on the morning of the 2nd rehearsal night. His mom had passed away suddenly so he was off to the east coast to be with family. There are no stand-ins for this production. We are all volunteers. But thankfully one of the pastors is game and away we go again. Thrown into the flurry of activitiy and memorizing lines, he is doing a great job as are all the others who just got their lines a few days ago! It always seems to work out each year as for a concentrated period of time, everyone eats, drinks, thinks, and breathes their role in the play!

Last night I took a few pics of the rehearsal. It is nothing like the 'real' thing but gives an overall impression. If you are nearby Edmonton, come and see it.

My hubby is Caiaphus (the one with the gold medallion). Rehearsals definitely get the blood flowing!

At least the weather is nice and the sun is shining and the snow is gone. No predictions of snow storms around the bend. Saturday should be a great day and evening for our first performance. Looking forward to the real thing as usual! What a great way to start the Easter celebrations.
