Christmas Pageant Practice Begins
November 29, 2015 @ 9:00 am - 10:00 am
CALLING TODDLERS, CHILDREN AND TEENS! JOIN ST. MICHAEL’S CHRISTMAS EVE PAGEANT AND HELP BRING THE NATIVITY TO LIFE FOR OUR PARISH! We’ve been doing our own Vermont Nativity for several years now and will continue to do so, modifying to fit the company and adding, of course, any new elements that pageanteers invent. Recent pageants, for instance, have been blessed with flocks of free-range angels and sheep. A couple live rabbits showed up for auditions, too; not wanting to turn any one away, we found roles for them.
Here are the roles we need to fill: innkeeper’s assistant, innkeeper, Mary,
Joseph, Angel Gabriel, angels, shepherds, wise wo/men, starbearer and readers (all 8 to 19-year-olds are welcome as readers!) Word is that we have a Jesus.
We’ll rehearse: Sunday mornings 9:00-10:00 a.m. (during Sunday school) starting…
- November 29: Talk briefly about the story and hear what role each child would like to play.
- December 6: Run-through the script with pageanteers in the roles they’ve chosen; determine what we want to change and start “blocking.”
- December 13: Annie will be out of town; we’ll still rehearse, but the plan is tba.
- December 20: Finish all blocking; run through with all lines assigned, with music andwith props.
- December 23: Dress rehearsal at 4 PM.
- December 24: All should arrive at 3:15; The pageant is at 4:00 p.m.We invite youth from outside the Parish to join in, too. If you have friends from school or the neighborhood who’d like to be part of the pageantry, please encourage them to come to do so.
