For a couple months now, I've been involved in a production called 'The Savior of the World' to be performed in March. It's a religious play, so if that's not for you, you might want to stop reading. It's a really awesome play all about the events before the Savior's birth, the night of His birth, and then what happened after His resurrection, focusing on how the faith and testimonies of those involved were strengthened by everything. The auditions for the play started a few days ago and I'm really looking forward to when we've got everyone cast and get started on rehearsals and I can hear all the music. I am the humble, bewildered props mistress; yeah, I said I'd get involved and the next thing I know the lady in my church that's the stage manager comes up to me and says that she wants me to handle the props. So far I've found some stuff, but some of it is hard! Where can I get swaddling bands; where do you find long strips of cloth that look exactly the same on both sides embroidered with the right patterns? People tell me Craigslist, but I don't have the money!
But for now, I'm happy with what's going on. I really believe in Christ, His birth, death, and life (which is still on-going, just not on this earth.) And I really want this production to be a success so that everyone else who's in it and sees it will believe too.
