This years plan for Easter is big. Many events are in place to make sure that this project sustains through time and not just a one off event. Plans have been drawn up before, during and after Easter. The budget is big as well. Various activities are in place from Baking classes to invite non Christians to participate to going out into the streets and feeding those in the five foot way. The church is trying to get everyone involve in one way another whether by serving food for after the performance or playing a small role as the crowd in the scene. I sit and watch. It reminds me of my days in uni where such events were being planned out.
Things were going on quite smoothly at practice. Monologers were joined by the cast that makes up the scenes. Only the dancers have yet to join in. The actors and actresses are progressing by the minute. While Jenny directs the entire play, it is up to Pam and myself to fill in the gaps. I find at times my presence to be in the background. It seems like Jenny is able to put all of this together. Sometimes, I feel that if I slip away from the back, no one would notice. I find it hard at times to work with her yet tell myself that playing the second fiddle is just as important. There are times where there were communication breakdowns. I had some disagreements. But it seems silence seems like a better option. I can tell myself to work at it and not give up. I see potential in some who participate. There is much can be improve in the drama ministry and would like to lend a hand in it. Other than that, I brought my cam to document the practices. It seems by suggestion to have someone cover the practices seem to fall on deaf ears. I guess many are busy and decided to be proactive and document it. You'll notice that this is the beginning of images on my blog.
Next week would be a different view altogether, The stage would be up as construction was schedule to begin during the week prior to the weekend. I can't wait to actually begin practicing on the actual stage. Hoping for some interesting results.
