Almost immediately we began by having trouble with the mics. We had switched out one of the mics to a better mic (so we thought) - only problem, it wouldn’t stay plugged in! So our main puppet in the beginning would cut in and out. Next, we had a plethora of stragglers coming in and out (like our defective mic), slamming the door and flooding the room with light. No distraction there... right? Also, Director Davies, who was the voice of God for the performance, would have people trying to sneak past him while he held a live mic. Enough trouble you say? Oh nooooo!!! Nay say I! There was plenty more coming. Soon thereafter it was noted that there were people peeking in the back doors, holdings trays and such and looking anxious. Director was confused as to why they would be there and why they insisted on opening and closing the double-doors in back. He hoped they would have the courtesy to wait until we were through for whatever they were up to. After all, we were half way through the performance. Director Davies again sneaked around the corner to do the voice of God when our children’s ministry leader Wayne parked himself in front of the director. Needless to say, Director was already frustrated and in no mood to be interrupted in the middle of his lines, so he attempted to shoo Wayne away. Wayne would not be moved however and gently informed the Director that the church had failed to reserve the room for our performance and that the people in the back were here to set up for an event. Deflated and frustrated, Director Davies informed the children that the performance was over and apologized for the interruption. God in His grace has allowed us to film the first performance for those who were interrupted in the second one. And for those of you who are interested, it is here for you as well. We are putting policies in place to make sure we never have “scriptus interruptus” again and we ask the forgiveness of those who were affected. But... It makes for a good story... No? Director D. (Updated - 6/30/11)  Very Soon, Ripples will  begin producing videos of  some of the best scripts.  We will be doing them with  all puppets, sound effects  etc.!  We will be making these  available as a free resource for parents and  teachers and to share our faith with the world.   We expect to begin production with the next month   or so!
