Church gears up for Cn::istmas
By Mark Lineberger
LARSON NEWSPAPERS
Christmas may seem like it's
still a ways off, but they're already
starting to get into the spirit at one
Verde Valley church.
There were open casting calls
over the weekend at Emmanuel
Fellowship in Cottonwood as
the church prepares to rehearse
for the 15th annual "Celebration
of Christmas," a performance
described by its organizers as
a spectacular "Broadway-style
musical production" as well as the
largest Christmas production in
Northern Arizona.
"It's gotten to be a pretty
elaborate production," said Mikel
Swank, the show's producer.
The performance tells the
story of an angel named Lucy,
who comes to Earth on a mission
to show the true meaning of
Christmas to a lonely young
woman named Eliza. The orga-
nizers liken it to "A Christmas
Carol" by Charles Dickens mixed
with "It's a Wonderful Life."
To pull it off, the show requires
more than 200 people to perform
as actors and behind-the-scenes
crew, and that's not including the
assortment of live animals.
Swank, who has been involved
with the show.all 15 years, said
the production has grown little by
little each and every year.
"It was small when we started,"
Swank said. "The first year the
wise men came in on horses."
Today, the three wise men arrive
on the scene by camel. There's
even a zebra this time around,
Swank said.
"It's collaboration," Swank
said. "We try a lot of different
stuff to help keei9 [the show]
fresh."
Speaking of music, there's quite
a bit. The show calls for speaking
and nonspeaking parts, along with
plenty of singing and dancing. For
people not so much interested in
taking their bow before the audi-
ence, there is plenty of opportu-
nity to work with everything from
video and lighting to makeup and
costuming.
After the show's organizers
figure out who made the audi-
tions, rehearsals will start the first
week in October. There are three
types of tickets to the show: free
tickets; silver tickets, which cost
$15 and guarantee a seat; and
gold tickets, which cost $25 and
untenable as the production grew.
"As you can expect, it's obvious
a production of this size and scale
is going to cost money," Swank
said. While the show does get
some money through sponsor-
ships, Swank said the costs of the
show started to become a drain on
the church.
"It would drain money from
other ministries here," Swank
said. Still, the organizers promise
the price of a ticket should be well
worth it.
There will be six shows that
run from Friday to Tuesday,
Dec. 3 to Dec. 7, at Emmanuel
Fellowship, located at 1580 East
Fir St. in Cottonwood. For more
information, call the production
department at 634-3034, ext. 102,
