Mark Singing his main solo to Grandpa, "Sometimes Dreams Can't Wait."
Mark has been gifted with a true soprano voice and he used his gift in this song where he had to hit many high notes.  We were thankfull that his voice did not begin to change!
He performed his solos without flaw.  Praise the Lord!
Mark says "I can't wait to try out for the Easter Production!"  We are all amazed that he never gets nervous performing to large crowds.
 
 
 
 
 
 

"Four Tickets to Christmas" was the theme song of the musical.  This scene was so much fun.  The idea was to simulate people on board a moving train.  The snowy background moved along some tracks to enhance the feeling of motion while the chorus bounced up and down and the ladies spun their parasols as if they were the train's wheels.  The engine is off camera to the right.  You can see Mark (Nicholas) between two ladies.  Dave was one of the guys keeping the background moving.  You might say he had his head in the snow!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Here is the Richmond family.  Mark played Nicholas.  Here they are singing the opening number, "We Wish You a Merry Christmas."
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Every show needs it's comic relief.  That's where the Lamplighters came in.  From the left we have Ron, Dan, Brady and Dave.  The guys had so much fun doing their parts.  They got to ham it as if they were always trying to steal the show.  Obviously they thought very highly of themselves!  They considered themselves the "talented members of the chorus."
Dave still thinks the guys should quit their jobs and go at it full time!
