A Special Thank You

As I consider this year’s joys, I’m particularly grateful to the cast and crew of The Fourth Wise Man, who worked diligently to bring the musical to life. The cast included: John Arnold, Brenda Byrd, Olin Jenkins, Randy Nolff, Mark Wade, Valerie Ward, and Jim Jarvis as Artaban. Pat Jarvis served as our stage manager. Melanie Shull was our music director. Gary West provided pre-show music. John Henry and Billy Itter worked the light board and follow spot, while Dean Long operated the new sound equipment given by Matthew and Tracy Davis Davenport. Many thanks and best wishes to all.

A Wonderful Story

Drawing by McKenzie Miller

Tonight, the St. Paul’s Players have their dinner theatre production of The Fourth Wise Man. Based on Henry Van Dyke’s story, “The Other Wise Man,” it is the tale of Artaban, who tries to follow the Three Kings and bring gifts to the Christ Child. During his journey, Artaban sacrifices his gifts to help others. In the end, he questions if his gifts have been wasted, but receives assurance that his actions were worthy. Jim Jarvis, John Arnold, Brenda Byrd, Olin Jenkins, Randy Nolff, Mark Wade, and Valerie Ward beautifully bring the story to life. Please come today or tomorrow!
