Papa was a Preacher

On January 11, 07, we attended a wonderful live performance in Jefferson city, at the Stained Glass Theatre.

The play was "Papa was a Preacher" and my two nieces , Ashley and Brittany Carwile each had parts in it. We love to go to live performances, especially when we know it will be something uplifting and clean, which can be kind of hard to find. During the play we couldn't take pictures but I got this one of Tracy and her cousins Brittany and Ashley after the play. ( hey boys do you recognize those two girls?)

Tracy and Jason made it down from K.C. I think family support for something that is good and wholesome, is so very important. That evening around 4:30pm I called Tracy to let her know we were going to the play. She was at Wal-Mart doing some shopping, and when she found out about the play, called Jason at work, and they being young enough to do things on the fly, made the decision to attend the play. Tracy went and picked him up from work, and they... flew, in her toyota, down to Jeff city, and were only a few minutes.. like 3-5 minutes late . Curtain time was 7:30pm. Oh to be young again.. ha.

Here is a picture of Tammy, Danny, Gordon, and grandma Trumbo. We were all sitting on the front row and had a really good time. I especially like the fact that I didn't have someone tall sitting in front of me, which is usually the case in these kinds of events.

Here are some of the cast member to give you a little glimpse of the people in the play.. I didn't know any of them. But they were all really good. I believe the man and woman who played the preacher and his wife, are , in real life.. planning to get married. In the play they were renewing their marriage vows after 25 years of marriage. The play was based on the book "Papa was a Preacher" written by on the real children that had been in this family in real life.
