Set Construction Update

Things are coming along for this year's Passion Play - Free! My Chains Are Gone
April 21-23, 7:00
Tickets are free.

So here are a few pictures form yesterday. For some reason my phone won't send pictures to facebook anymore. I guess they aren't on speaking terms.

Baskets of leftover bread (they'll be 12)

Pilate's Court

(Still have plants to finishing details to add)

Dr. Luke's House

(He's our main actor this year. He'll be working on a letter to Theophilus. - See Luke 1:1-4)

Getting Ready

Preparations for The Passion Play are under way!

The set arrived today...

And costumes are assigned...

Do you know your music???!!!

The Set

We're working on the set. Here are a few of the scenes.

You can read a little about my painting the set here

Each scene is painted on two 4x8 panels.

Construction Crew

Today is day 14 on our countdown. Can you feel the excitement in the air?

Take a look at this great construction team! You probably recognize Neal (our foreman - he knows where everything goes!) and Curtis as construction guys, but look who else showed up - Mark and Dan (and of course yours truly was there - it's too cool getting to wear the yellow hat to not be there)

Set Construction Continues

Day 16 of our Bow the KneeHilldale's Passion Play countdown.
Make sure you check the rehearsal schedule on yesterday's post.


Updates:

We really have a very nice set. Even though it is in the early stages of being put together you can tell what a great set it will be when completed.


We have a donkey! I'm sorry I don't know her name. She even has experience in this line of work. She's owned by the guy who owns the camels. (He told me that he doesn't have any camels able to work right now. I think the older ones retired and the younger ones will still kick and spit - which most audiences find rather annoying. So, sorry, no camels this year. Maybe next year.)

We have two tiki torches. Have you looked in your garage to see if you have one we can use?

Don't forget we are recording tomorrow night. There will be a big Hilldale Hoops celebration tomorrow night in the Sanctuary, but that won't affect us. If you have a child getting abasketball award you should go see that. But don't feel like you have to stay and watch the illusionist.


Can you find the piano?

Bow the Knee Update

We're on day 17 of our Bow the Knee Hilldale's Passion Play 2008 countdown. Whew! Eu tenho muitos coisas para fazer! Oops, sorry, I've been listening to my Portuguese CDs too much. (See earlier posts about the upcoming Rio mission trip.) Rio Mission Trip Information, click here

Here's an update on what's happenin' 'round here.

Today was set delivery day. All the stuff is in the Sanctuary.

Tomorrow is set construction day.

Wednesday's rehearsal will start early and end late. Look for info coming in the mail about extra rehearsals. I'll post them here later today or in the morning.

Sunday's Music - February 24

Sunday's choir anthem - Bow the Knee from (duh) Bow the Knee.

Help needed!

Don't forget that I need your help clearing the stage Sunday night after church so we can begin set construction Monday morning.

Did I mention it was a really big set?
