The best play so far for Tuacahn! I had read the book and wondered how in the world they were going to adapt it onto the stage. They preformed it in the high school auditorium and it was OUTSTANDING! The actors were great and the design and lighting were incredible. We were the test audience. We laughed so hard. I can't wait to go back and see it when it is fully up and going. Tuacahn plans on doing it every year and we are planning on making it a tradition to go see it every year. Of course, Tuacahn had all their lights up. It looked beautiful! And we had our first of 2 Christmas miracles while we were there. #1 Joel found the closest possible parking space! My dad would be so proud.
This year Tuacahn put in a ice skating rink. THANKS BRAD! It's a plastic ice, just like in Disneyland when they put up Olaf's skating rink. It is really weird. It's warm and if you fall you don't get wet! We didn't go skate but we are planning to this weekend.
I love this picture because it looks like there is snow on the hillside.
We had a little time to kill before the show started so we checked out the gift shop. It's always good for a laugh. I couldn't afford a piece of lint from that place. I don't know how they stay open. I took a picture of the ATM machine because it was Fancy! Just like this shop. It should be the first indicator of how this gift shop is. See the fancy peacock next to it?
They did however have the cutest Santa's in the world. They were about 18" tall and each one cuter than the next. They were on sale for 89.99 each. Down from 129.99. If they were $20 bucks I'd buy one or all three.
I love this one.
Then we went out and every single person was gone. It was weird for a Friday night. But I guess if Santa leaves so do the people. So we sat in his chair and took our own picture.
Then Brad came and got us. We walked into the auditorium and sat down on the 3rd row. They were still fixing a few things but it was incredible to just see the projections. Brad had hired his best buddy from Disney, Jon Infante to do the lighting and projection. It was fantastic with Brad's set design!
When they closed the curtain they even had this great projection on it and the snowflakes danced all around. After that the show started and I couldn't take any more picture's so you'll have to go watch it for yourself.
On the way out we had Christmas Miracle #2. David had fallen asleep in the last 1/2 hour of the show and was tired so Ben gave David a piggy back ride to the van. This is HUGE! The only way that they touch each other, usually, is to hit or trip each other. It has been a hard year for those two. I think that as Ben gets more comfortable with himself, he'll start being nicer to others. I just wish that would happen now.
