Our Drummer Boy (Andre)


Popeye (Anthony) brought us the gift of spinach to
remind us that true strength is more than big muscles.

Pochahontas (Anaya) brought us a great big map to
help us find the way and give direction to our journey.


Dorothy (Ayana) from the Wizard of Oz brought her
sparkly red shoes to remind us that there's no place
like home.


Mary Poppins (Lin) brought us a big spoonful
of sugar to remind us of the sweetness of life.


The Chimney Sweep (Thomas) brought a
feather duster to help us get rid of all those
negative thoughts and stuff that is no longer
serving us, bringing clarity.

And...he gave us quite the kick of the heels
as he placed his gift for the Baby Jesus.


Our original Cinderella, Cassidy, who was unable to
make the show. Her "stand in" is below:

Cinderella brought "her" tiara to remind us
to believe in your dreams.

The tiara works for him, don't you think?

Our Senior Elf (Molly) and Narrator (Sue).

Good thing she had written notes to help with
the order of things.

Santa (Jim) offering the flute to Baby Jesus as a
reminder of harmony and peace.


A gift of a mirror as a reminder to reflect the truth
and to make clear choices.



Our Drummer Boy gifting the Baby Jesus with the music
of his drum.

Pa rum pum pum pum. Me and my drum...

Our cast came to take a bow and sing We Wish You a
Merry Christmas!
