A Christmas tradition for the whole family.

1. What is your favorite
Forgotten Carol scene?
I
have so many scenes in THE FORGOTTEN CAROLS that are “favorites” for a variety
of reasons. But I’m surprised, performance after performance, how often
something touches me differently and teaches me something that I’ve missed in
performances past. It’s the gift of doing this show for 26 years. I
keep learning things, understanding things, and feeling things that bring me
closer to the One Christmas is all about…the One who we remember…It’s about remembering
what’s been “forgotten” when it comes to the meaning of Christmas.
2. Do you have a favorite snack you enjoy while
traveling to each tour city?
I'm a diabetic, so this is sort of a
trick question. I crave chocolate cake donuts, but have to eat Kind Bars.
That’s the reality, but the truth is, I cheat sometimes…and take a little
bit more insulin to make up for it. Don’t tell anybody :)
3. What do you enjoy most when
you’re on the road performing?
The
older I get the more exhausting it is to be traveling from place to place…but
the joy of that travel when it’s with people I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to pieces.
The cast and the crew make it a joy beyond measure.
4. During the last song when the audience is hand-in-hand
singing, what emotions do you feel from the stage?
When the encore segment of The Forgotten Carols happens, I
find myself focusing on the meaning of “together forever”. Is it
something that we hope will happen someday, somewhere down the road, or is it
something we can feel right now, this moment? Some nights I feel like I
should sing a different lyric for families that can’t buy in to the idea of an
eternal connection, for whatever reasons, and the appropriate lyric for them
would be, “We can be together, whatever, today”. Some nights, thinking
about my own family and the challenges we face, those words are a great comfort
and a celebration of now. I believe that what happens to me, and many
people who attend The Forgotten Carols, is that together in that moment, we feel
the love and peace and comfort that comes at Christmas time to remind us that
we are never alone, and the One whose birth we celebrate is ALWAYS with us.
Here’s a news flash for you, my blogger friends. I’M ADDING A NEW
CAROL TO THE SHOW THIS YEAR that I think will shine a beautiful light on that
thought. Hope y’all come and hear me sing it!!!
