A Civil War Christmas - Jessica Thebus
Jessica Thebus, the director of A Civil War Christmas, spoke to the company on the first day of rehearsal - now a month past. It is interesting to read this again within the frame of the work we have done over the last few weeks. Here is the text of Jessica's greeting:
"I usually read something that I write on the first day. I like to do it for a few reasons. One is to share some of my thoughts in the time I have been living with the play, what I see as our map of where we are going, and to give as at least a starting place for our work together."
"Another, more important reason is to celebrate the gathering together of people in a room and launch a new journey, because one is never exactly like another. We are starting a journey, following a star, in celebration of our own, multi-denominational nativity."
"The story of the nativity—why, I wonder, do we as human beings love to hear the same story told over and over? With all our natural love of plot and suspense, we gather in homes and places of worship, and theaters, to hear again and again of the nutcracker, or of Scrooge and the spirits, or the birth of a child in a stable."
