We premiered our newest drama, Perspectives of Christmas in Bluefield, West Virginia on November 28th, 2009. This is a fresh look at the Christmas story, told from the perspective of those who were there.  After our premier, we took the show to Florida.  The two weeks we were in Vero Beach were spent mostly rehearsing, meeting and preparing for the performances, but we also were able to rest and attend a beautiful Christmas production at Central Assembly of God.  One blessing that we are most...

We left for the West Coast on September 16th, 2009 and were looking forward to our performances in every location including Nebraska, Oregon, California and Arkansas, as well as the adventure of seeing so much of this country.  Our first adventure was that evening when the van’s transmission went out in Columbus, Indiana.  But God is good.  He allowed us to have the van and trailer towed almost immediately and allowed us to be blessed by a wonderful organization who put us up for the night....
