"4 Tickets to Christmas"

As many of you know (since she has missed quite a few Colts games) my wife has been extremely busy preparing for the dramatic musical, 4 Tickets to Christmas, at our church (the First Baptist Church). She's in the choir portion of the musical. Here is a brief synopsis of the musical:

Four Tickets to Christmas” takes place in 1905 near Cedar Grove, Indiana on the Richmond family farm. Several generations of the singing Richmond family as well as their hometown Syracuse Family Playhouse singers unexpectedly end up rehearsing a church Christmas program in the family’s barn. The hired hand Luke has special gifts, grandson Nick and grandfather Chester Richmond share a secret, daughter Emma is out of her element since there’s “dirt on a farm”... Despite a giggly piano player and local “talent” the show does go on. Find out about the dreams and aspirations of the Richmonds as they sing their way into your heart.

What's taken a life of its own are these marathon practice sessions (3 hour sessions every Tuesday and Sunday night) Jenny has had since September. The play has consumed much of her free time, which I'd must admit has been frustrating at times....but nothing that we couldn't deal with. I just don't think I could have handled that.

I must confess that practice makes perfect and the performance that I saw Friday night was excellent. It was a first rate production. I'm proud of her for committing to it and putting forth her best effort (along with the rest of the cast). It was worth it.
