I said, we're going to build an ARK!

All right ladies and gentleman, a very special announcement....
Tonight marks the opening of Immanuel Church Summer Care's production of 100% Chance of Rain. It should be nothing less than one of the most entertaining shows you will ever see in your entire life. I tried to put together something as professional as possible, but if you factor the unpredictability of children with the reluctance of 9-year-old boys to sing and dance, you come up with a fairly rag-tag effort. My Noah seems to have about the worse care of ADD I've ever seen in anyone (Eric I told you two seconds ago that I needed you in the center of the stage. Were you even listening? Eric! Eric, look at me. What did I just say? *shrug from Eric) Mrs. Noah yells at people in the middle of songs (Lindsay, move OVER!), and I can guarantee that at all times someone somewhere on stage is picking his/her nose. I introduced costumes yesterday, and the kids can't stop playing with them. It was DRESS REHEARSAL, and Shem's wife stopped the action and ran offstage so that her mom could fix her hat. The boys keep playing slip n slide on the gym floor and sword fighting with any object they find. One of my cast members hasn't been to practice in a week. I have no idea whether or not he knows his lines... Last time I checked, he didn't. Ah well. They're kids. That's what I keep telling myself. So if you want to see a quality Bible-inspired musical tonight, go see Memorial's production of Children of Eden. But if you want to see all of the triumphs and follies of children while you gorge yourself on free refreshments, bring a gently used toy or a canned good to Immanuel gym at 7:00 tonight.
