And the new high school commons provided the perfect setting for the show. The cast lined up for their processional along one of the staircases, then flowed down for a graceful, colorful, musical entrance.
Everyone took their positions around the banquet hall ...
... and then the evening's drama began to unfold. As usual, I was busy taking photos and missed some of the details, but essentially King Ozzie and Queen Sharon were insisting that Princess Kelly find a suitable Prince. She was not happy about the idea.
I believe it had something to do with having to entertain a string of less than impressive suitors.
Carrying the storyline along were jokes, dancing, voting and toasts. The lucky fellow in overalls and straw hat was declared the winner of the Princess's hand ...
... and then dinner arrived. Since this was dress rehearsal night, pizza was served instead of the traditional roasted meats and vegetables. The junior high choir students invited to the performance seemed delighted by the menu selection.
During dinner, audience members were treated to carolers and a visit from Father Torrence and his band of brothers.
After a lovely set of sacred Christmas carols, we wrapped up with a few posed character shots ...
... a couple of real character shots ...
... and a group shot of the entire cast displaying their true characters!

I'm so glad to have been invited to photograph this show, and I look forward to seeing more creative work from this talented group of students and teachers. Bravo!
Applause, everyone.
Bravo, bravissimo!
Shout God-songs at the top of your lungs!
Sing songs to God, sing out!
Sing to our King, sing praise!
He's Lord over earth, so sing your best songs to God.
Psalm 47:1, 6-7 MESSAGE
