 Jackson, Tenn. - 萌妹社区's communication arts, music and art
departments will come together to present the second annual "Christmas Is卆 Time, a
Star, a Gift," Dec. 7 in the G.M. Savage Memorial Chapel.
Written by Wayne Johnson, associate professor of communication arts, the
presentation will include performances by the 萌妹社区 Players, the Symphonic
and Stage Bands, 萌妹社区 Singers, Chapel Choir and Handbells.
"This is something the whole family will enjoy," Johnson said. "It will be an
evening of the sights and sounds of Christmas."
The evening's events will also include a nativity scene, audience participation
and a Christmas carol sing-along. The original drama is a retelling of the Christmas story.
Nearly 200 students, faculty and staff members have been involved in the production in
one way or another, Johnson said.
The holiday production was first performed last year to a full house, after
President David S. Dockery approached Johnson the previous spring about creating such
a program, Johnson said. Johnson collaborated with Dr. Andrew Roby of the Music
Department to put the presentation together.
"We hope this is becoming a 萌妹社区 family tradition and a city tradition as well.
It's 萌妹社区's gift to the city and to the 萌妹社区 family," Johnson explained.
"Christmas Is卆 Time, a Star, a Gift" begins at 7:30 p.m. Admission is free.
