Fayette Academy Elementary Christmas Play 2018

Fayette Academy’s lower school, grades 3-5 production,”The Secret of Snowflake County”

Fayette Academy’s lower school, grades 3-5 presented “The Secret of Snowflake County”, directed by Becky Houston on December 6th at 7:00 pm.

Friends and family were transported to Snowflake County, a place where Christmas performances and celebrations have become so professional and overblown that they threaten to steal the focus away from the simplicity of the true meaning of Christmas: God coming down to earth as a baby. The Mayor, played by Addison McNabb and town residents are eventually reminded that the message of Christmas doesn’t need to be dressed up in lights or decorations to shine any brighter; at its simplest, it’s the brilliance of the one true Light, born in a humble stable.

The children entertained patrons through the story of “hope in a humble stable”, with songs, dancing snowflakes, cowboy shepherds, line dancing angels, tap dancing wise men and even a couple of cute hungry raccoons.

The Music Department would like to acknowledge all of those who aided in the production. Angelia Johnson, Dee Evans, Caroline Rinks, Catherine Jefferies, Jeanna Jeffries, and Abby Stone for their help with auditions; Cheyenne Johnson for teaching the line-dancing routine; Angelia Johnson for teaching the tap-dancing routine; Cindy Klein and Steve Luthe for help with set assembly; Rodney Patterson for Viking Center set-up; David Beaver for sound system operation; Nancy Thomas for her help with rehearsals; Josh Acker, Lower School Principal and the elementary faculty for their patience with rehearsals; all of the parents who tirelessly listened to lines, songs and assisted with miscellaneous chores and most of all, the children, who gave their time, talent, hard work, and enthusiasm.
