El Arca de Noe



(this blog entry title was for the single Spanish speaking blog reader that I may or may not actually have out there somewhere....)--------------
"No Animal Left Behind" was the name of the play (I think).
Vicki Chappelear was the master mind behind it (writer AND director of the play, whose children are pictured here--hippo, hyena, skunk, and one of Noah's sons)
Tom Chappelear is the husband who managed to figure out life while his wife pulled off this massive undertaking (45 minute show)!
My Family, with hundreds of others were among the VERY pleased audience.
We took in the final show last night, and it was AMAZING! Everything went off without a hitch (mostly!), and this one kept my kids eyes glued to the stage. Not only that, but they had to work extra hard to actually hear everything as a result of the roar of laughter that repeatedly swept through the audience of adults and children.
Vicki took one of the most common Bible stories, and gave it a bit of a modern feel, with hilarious characters comprised of the animals shown above, along with penguins, peacocks, raccoons, love birds, lions, etc., all in couples. The show ended with a clear presentation of the gospel message-God loves us and has made a way to redeem us through His only Son.
My only complaint with the show is that it's not running another week....
Great job, Vicki!
