A Tad of Trouble

Kaleb, one of my grandson's, was in a play at his high school. He played the guardian angel, Zander, guardian angel of Obediah, a very sinister scam artist. The name of the play was A Tad of Trouble. Zander has had hundreds of years of experience as a guardian angel and he's quite sceptical of changing Obediah into a decent person.

The girl is Olivia, the guardian angel of Tad. Tad is mute and is Obediah's helper in the scam business of selling useless products to unsuspecting customers. Olivia is very bright, optimistic, and cheerfully sings her way into hearts, much to Zander's chagrin.

When her own singing isn't enough Olivia calls in a chorus of girls! Zander tries to shake off their effect.


Tad, the mute, suddenly begins singing! He is changed. Zander leaves dejectedly. He and Olivia had made a bet that this was a useless case...he lost! I have had to leave out so many details of the play...you really needed to watch it yourselves!

The whole cast at the end. The guy next to Kaleb in the black hat is the marshall, out to arrest Obediah. The tall guy, on the other side of Kaleb is Obediah. Then Tad, the mute helper of Obediah. Olivia is next, the guardian angel of Tad. Then the last girl is the marshall's niece, a wannabe marshall! The other girls are the chorus of singers.


Taking a bow! They were all so good.
About 3/4 of the way through the play the electricity went off! There was total darkness for several minutes, when the lights came back on the play went on without a hitch! I was afraid someone would get mixed up but they didn't. It was well worth going to and I'm very, very proud of Kaleb. He was superb! He has quite the acting ability! Everyone was very good.

Lord, thank You for letting me watch Kaleb and the rest of the cast in this good play. Thank You for the ones who wrote it for these kids. Thank You for the excellent job the kids did in putting the play on. Thank You for letting the electricity come back on! Thank You most of all for Kaleb! Help him to use his abilities for You.
