Interfaith Christmas Play Draws Crowds
The interfaith drama, "Mary Did You Know," presented by the Trail of Light Drama Team, drew crowds this year in its 10th year of production.
More than 15 churches were represented by the cast and crew of the play, which was hosted by Cullowhee Baptist Church on the evenings of November 30 and December 1.
The dance scenes were expanded from last year's performance, with 7 dancers performing 3 Israeli folk dances choreographed by Suzanne Kehrberg of Cullowhee. The performance was accented by the drumming expertise of Caden Painter and the vocal talents of Henry Wong, Sarajane Melton, Britney Acosta, Paula Fox, Victoria Casey McDonald, Larry Haskett, Pelham Thomas, Wesley Haskett, Nikki Henke and a child angel choir.
