(or, "Boys, You’re Wrinkling Your Costumes!")

 

first_leon It’s time for the annual Christmas pageant.  This year the kids are performing "The First Leon."

The worshipmusic.com website says:

The Brentwood Kids Music Club presents its newest Christmas musical for children, The First Leon. In this charming musical you will see the Christmas story through the eyes of Leon. You see, Leon is… special. Ever since he discovered that his name spelled backwards is Noel, he’s felt called to tell the world the true meaning of Christmas. But when he tries out for every role in the annual pageant, he finds that he’s the only one who doesn’t get a part. Rejected. Now Leon understands better than anyone how Mary and Joseph must have felt when they heard the words, "No room" that night in Bethlehem. Without really trying to, however, Leon does uncover the true meaning of Christmas when he identifies the real Star of Bethlehem.

Well, we will see how this goes.  Ryan is "Leon," an understudy, and Allison is "Julie," an angel.  There is a lot of dialogue and a lot of music to remember.  Hopefully, all will go well this evening.

Got to go. "It’s almost curtain…"
