Woodland Events - Dena

Hello family,

I just wanted to let you all know that the Woodland Opera House offers GREAT theater! For one more weekend, they are doing Taming of the Shrew. Paul and I went Friday night, and it was OUTSTANDING! We laughed and laughed--Shakespeare at its best! We are going again, taking three children this Saturday, so if anyone wants to go . . .we can go together! :)

AND . . . Eliani is in the next play, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. Eliani has one line, but she is on stage a lot, so as Timothy sums it up: "She is scenery!" :) She is thrilled and is having a LOT of fun! (Isn't it fun to be on stage, learning from a great director and from talented actors?) Anyway, the play runs the weekends of Nov 27th - Dec 20th, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 and Sundays at 2:00. There is also a Saturday matinee at 2:00 on December 12th.

Anyway, go to http://woodlandoperahouse.org/default.aspx for more information!

AND . . . the annual Creche festival will be December 5th and 6th. This festival is sponsored by our church, but it is a community event. The cultural hall becomes a magical land (with lowered lights, drapes, beautiful decorations, live music, Christmas trees, etc.) with the focus on creches from around the world. If you have a creche to display, bring them on Friday from 3-8. Besides the nativities, there is a children's room with a craft and dress-up area. Pictures in the stable can be taken as well. There is a movie room, showing movies about Christ, and an art room to display art. And to climax it all, there is a community-choir concert on Saturday the 5th at 7:00 PM and Sunday at 6:00. I am on the committee, and it is going to be an awesome event! Bring the kids! This is a great event to begin the Christmas season! OH--the event runs Saturday and Sunday from 3-8 and it's FREE! :)

Hope to see some of ya'll somewhere . . .!

What's happening elsewhere????

Take care! Much love,

Dena
