Musical Opportunities for Children
Annual Children's Musical
Students in 1st through 6th grades have the opportunity to participate in the annual children's musical, which is presented each year in February. The musical presents a Biblical story to the entire congregation and the local community through drama, song, and dance. Auditions for speaking/solo parts are held in November, and rehearsals begin immediately after Christmas break. Creating grand sets and elaborate costumes are two of the many ways parents and other members of the congregation can volunteer to support the production. The show is presented four times on a weekend (twice on Saturday evening and twice on Sunday morning) in February to ensure that family, friends, the congregation, and the community all have an opportunity to attend at least one performance.
