Since adopting children "from hard places" it just doesn't work for us to run around and keep crazy hours, especially when things are so out of the usual experience on the holidays. We do, however, try to pick a few things that will be meaningful and memory builders. This year we chose again to make the show "Awaited" one of the things that we would make room for in our schedules.
Awaited is a creative retelling of the Christmas story, presented by one of the larger churches in the Cincinnati area. They have written their own musical score, have highly skilled musicians that perform it, and the costumes and special effects are nothing short of amazing. For instance, that was actually a camel suit with a couple of people inside it that just walked through, but wow! It surely looked real!
There were giant fiber optic flowers carried by performers, dancers seeming to fly from the ribbons hung from the ceiling, and it even snowed - inside!
An experience unlike any other, it was well worth keeping the kids out late. I hope we can go again next year!
