Gifts for the King
By: Wesley Hague
The Christmas production was an extravagant affair. It was composed of musical numbers singing some older Christmas music such as Gloria Festiva, Good King Wenceslas, Lo! How A Tose E’er Blooming, and The Little Drummer Boy. The music was performed excellently and displayed a lot of the vocal talent that is located here at EBC. Some of the names to note were Jamie Knight, Howie Allen, Chantelle Lowes, Johanna Snieder, and Jolene Voskamp. Mixed in between the music was several dramatic acts that focused on the image of gift giving to Jesus on the night he was born. The actors were all talent, yet Brandon Meyers had the crowd laugh at his many unique lines; I am sure more of the people who where there remember “the tip of the tongue, the teeth, the lips.” To show the out-pouring of support to EBC, the entire chapel was packed; more chairs had to be brought out to fit all those who where there to watch. Some of those who came to watch said the event was “great”, “excellently done”, “wonderful”. A lot of work went into putting the production together as some of the actors and musicians where chosen in September and October . Even throughout the week of the performance, many long hours of preparation and several rehersals that took up the entire evening occurred. A lot of work went and it resulted in a very successful performance. All those involved should be exceptionally proud of it. A special word of thanks goes out to Tabitha Rozeluk, Brandon Meyers and Marjorie Hopkins who were responsible for the organization of it all.
