DCDA presents "The Other Wise Man"

If you didn’t attend, you didn’t merely “miss out”, you were deprived! To call the production and presentation “superb” or “outstanding” is to beg for more powerful adjectives.

This is the 5th production by the Delta Christian Drama Association. Five years ago such a Christian Drama group was but a mere gleam in the eyes of George and Gaylene Hosier. Now, the dream is a reality, a huge success, a service to the community, and a vibrant testimony.

The cast, oh, my, the dedicated, dynamic troupe. No big-time, big city luxury of A and B casts and understudies here---young and old alike, everyone wearing several hats, and some in multiple roles, all were magnificent.

As were the set scenes and the costumes---the province of the set and costume designer and wardrobe mistress, Ms Gaylene Hosier and the crew who helped. Scene changes are accomplished smoothly and unobtrusively by means of “book” with 10-foot square “pages”, built by Alex Dyachuk and John Gulenko and illustrated by Ms Hosier.

George is Director, of course, and actor when necessary---and probably test bed for ulcers, migraine, and high blood pressure.

Four of the five productions have been presented in the Assembly of God Church sanctuary, which serves well.

Thanks to the administration for hosting the presentations. This play was adapted from a Henry Van Dyke Tale, and allowed us to become acquainted with the “other wise man”----and a wonderful meeting it has been.

And, let us not forget the professionalism of the Abbott sisters, whose delightful music warms our hearts.

Thanx, all of you, for another smashing success---we dunno how they can be made better, but we’ll betcha the next one will! (Submitted by Ken Farrow)
