1. Summer Freeman, Hanjoo Bae, and Eedo Wilson
enact a scene together. The scene they enacted was
where children came to Sunday school, but were
pushed aside by the Herdmans, newcomers to the
church scene. 2. Mya Freeman receives the spotlight
as she confidently monologues on stage. She played
the role of Beth Bradley, a curious and intelligent
character. 3. The second grade class join their voices
as they sing during the concert. They held candles while
1
singing Silent Night during what was essentially a Christ-
mas Program within a Christmas program. 4. Summer
Freeman joyfully sings while wearing a halo. She sang
“A Little Town of Bethlehem,” one of the Christmas carols
performed by the Elementary students. 5. Leo Cheon and
Kain Choi join their classmates as they sing “Silent Night.”
The Elementary students sang other Christmas carols such
as “Away in a Manager” and “While Shepherds Watched
their Flock.”. 6. Yuki Sugihara lays the doll, representing
baby Jesus, in a manager. Yuki played the role of Imo-
gene, a rough young woman with no understanding of
the gospel of Christmas in the beginning of the play whose
kindhearted side is revealed as the play progresses. 7. Dora
Li, Juna Ariyoshi, Taniya Christober, and Lydia Barr grasp
each other’s hands as they take a bow. The cast was received
warmly by the audience during curtain call, and many a teary
eye was seen as those who viewed the play were leaving the
heart-warming performance.
