Showtime

Two of my granddaughters have been involved in a local children’s theater production of Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast.” This past week was show time. They had two dress rehearsals and eight performances. The show took over their life. I saw the perfomance twice. It was wonderful! The kids did a fantastic job, as did their parents and relatives who pulled curtains, herded kids backstage, sold tickets and concessions and filled the audience to a sell out crowd every night. The girls had a wonderful time and glowed in the spotlight of stardom.

My husband and many friends have been involved in a production with our church theater troupe. The show, called “Love Song,” told the story of Jesus in an original and powerful way, using music and scripture. There was a dress rehearsal and three performances this weekend. I saw the show twice. It was wonderful!

Everyone is tired today, but it is the tired of accomplishment. That is a good tired.
