Geon Christian Children's Home Christmas Play 2007
This was performed during our yearly, “Thank You Event” in the orphanage's church in front of a packed audience that consisted of many of the orphanage's sponsors (businessmen, church elders, and such) and volunteers. The kids were nervous (Eun Jin mouths the word, "Scary" in Korean before the play begins) but I think they did great considering the play was all in their 2nd language. Korean kids are usually really timid about speaking English in front of other people because they don't want to be teased because of their accent.
Soo Min, the boy who plays Joseph, had knee surgery a couple months ago and is still recovering so he had a little limp.
Ironically, both my sisters were very active in drama in high school. Me... I stayed as far away from theatre as I could. And here I am having to write and direct (and act in) a play for kids in a children's home in Korea to perform in a foreign language. Madness, I tells you. It was God's grace that everything worked out, it really was. Praise God!
I hope you enjoyed the video! God bless!

very cute! thanks for sharing!!!
WOW that was SOOOO GOOD!!!! "Goodbye" "Goodbye" Hahahaha. Man JM you are amazing!
Congratulations on a job well done, everyone. I really enjoyed the "Christmas Pageant". Nicely written, J-M, and nicely performed, actors. I know it can be "scary" to perform in front of people, especially people that you know. But, I thought everyone did very well, and I understood the "English" being spoken with no difficulty.
Keep up the good work.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all.
love,
