This fall Daniel was asked to play a narrator and 5 parts in an abridged version (written by a ward member) of "A Christmas Carol." He'd have to memorize all parts but the narrator. He'd have a variety of costume (more like prop) changes. He'd be practicing at least twice a week, more when the performance got near. This would be performed at the ward Christmas party as a dinner theater.
Well, he did it!! The production was so well done! They had spotlights, a sound guy, a great set, costumes, and fantastic acting! We have had lots of fun watching every version of "A Christmas Carol" we could get our hands on in anticipation of the event. Andrew was so proud of his Dad--beaming and hugging him after the play. I was proud of him too--he memorized a lot and wowed us all!
These are the best shots I could get in the dark with Eliza climbing all over me. Clicking to enlarge may help. The video clips I took are not worth posting (dark, hard to hear) but luckily the Bishop did a better recording he'll make copies of.
