The children of the Highlands and Cashiers communities will stage a Christmas musical at 10:50 A.M. Sunday, December 20, at Highlands United Methodist Church.
“The Journey of the Wee Red Cap” was written by Luke Osteen with music by Les Scott, based on a story by Ruth Sawyer Durand. It tells the story of a miserly Scotsman who gets a lesson on Christmas charity courtesy of a troupe of fairies and a magical red cap.
“It’s such a charming story, and the children really inhabit their roles and the songs that adorn the narrative,” said Scott, the music director at HUMC. “This marks the 10th collaboration that Luke and I have produced and we’re developing a strong company of musical actors. In fact, we have a couple of performers who come all the way from China to participate in our summer productions.”
The show is open to everyone in the twin communities. Although this production has been cast and the performers have been working on the music for months, Scott and Osteen are always looking for new talents. If you know a child who’d enjoy performing in the duo’s upcoming Summer 2016 musical, call the church office
at (828) 526-3376.
