The Trail of Light, an interfaith Christian drama, will be performed at Cullowhee Baptist Church Friday, Nov. 30, and Saturday, Dec. 1, at 7 p.m.
The drama tells the story of the lineage of Christ, one generation after another, from Adam and Eve on down beyond the birth of Christ. Many stories of the Bible come to life to recreate the Christmas story. The first year the drama was presented in 1999, it involved representation from 12 local churches. One year later, in 2000, more than 30 congregations were included in some aspect of the production. Now in the third year of production, the number of churches represented has increased so dramatically that practices are now being handled by three directors, each group practicing at different times. Producers, directors, stage and sound crew, narrator, actors, actresses, artists, seamstresses, dancers, musicians, children, animals, families - everyone involved in this production are local community members, friends and neighbors, all volunteering their time to be a part of this experience. |
