An invitation to all...

This blog is intended to be an open resource to all who are considering or have committed to staging "The First Christmas."

As the co-author of this production and the liaison from Lightstone Studios, I will use this blog to keep you current on developments with the production. I also will look at this blog for your input and suggestions.

I invite you to share with others your journey on taking this production from the page to the stage. Any and all experiences you would care to share I'm sure will be a help to others. Let us seek to use this blog to share, as well as give support to each other (surely a support group is needed for all who are undertaking such an endeavor).

Maybe a good place to start is to share with us a little about you and your group. You can include as little or as much info as you feel comfortable sharing. Either comment on this posting, or feel free to start a new post.

In the meantime, I wish you all that age-old stage salutation, "break a leg!"

Hi, we are the English bunch (-a church ward in the South of England) considering this. We love the idea and are enthusiastic Liken appreciators!! But we are still figuring out if we have enough good male singers (of course we have some very talented female singers, but are struggling a little for men who can commit! and men who can hit those high notes), and whether our relatively small stage can handle all that is required!

It seems too good an opportunity to miss, and wonder if those who have commited have already got their key people on board, or if they have taken a leap of faith and committed, figuring that once people know what this is all about, they'll want to be a part of it.

Another small church group mentioned to me that they were thinking about opening up their production to the community -- not just on a performance level, but on the casting and crewing levels. It was a worthwhile idea that I thought might be worth passing along to those who might be concerned about having enough resources (although that concern probably encompasses groups of pretty much any size!).
