In this post, I just want to give a brief summary of each of our shows. We perform four main shows: Reflection, Wiggs, Trésor de cœur, and Ghost.
“Reflection” is about stories. Our lives are like books. We each have a story that is unfolding in front of our eyes. Some chapters are happy, while others are filled with pain and suffering. In this show we take a look at two characters, Frieda and Harry, and how their stories have played out thus far. At the end of this show, we set up stations for the audience to visit. We use these stations as a way for them to take a look at their own stories. The message of this show is that we each have a story, and even though we may be in a chapter of heartache, we can put our trust in God and he will be everything we need.
“Wiggs” is a show about cancer. In this show we follow the story of a girl named Kristen—a sixteen year old girl who has cancer and only a few months left to live. Even though she knows that she is dying, she chooses to really live and ends up bringing brightness and joy to everyone she meets. The metaphor of the wig is that we use it to conceal or cover up something. We all have that “cancer” or that secret that we want to hide. We fear being exposed because of shame, guilt, regret, etc. Kristen was completely exposed, and because of that, she was able to embrace life to the fullest.
One of our new shows is “Trésor de cœur”, which is French for “Treasures of the Heart”. Mickey, daughter of internationally acclaimed author Josh Pierce, is a teenage girl who is searching for a treasure that her recently missing father left behind. She believes that in her father’s most recent book, “Trésor de cœur”, are clues to the location of this treasure. At the end of the show, she finds the treasure as well as her father. Her father explains to her that the real treasure was never something out there… but that her treasure is embedded inside of her... The treasure is her heart. We all have a treasure. At some point, we need to stop wandering aimlessly in search of something out there and we need to dig deep within ourselves to find the treasure that God has placed in all of us.
"Ghost" is the newest of our main shows. Oscar is a rising star in the world of soccer. After getting involved in drug dealing, he ends up getting acid in his eyes and goes blind. His soccer career was over, or so he thought. With the help of his friend, he becomes a brilliant soccer coach, even with his blindness. The moral of the story is that no matter where you’ve been and no matter what your current circumstances are, you can over come anything and still chase your dreams.
