The Mall Diva posted about Eclectica a couple of weeks ago and, being both a proud father and a marketing guru, I just had to get the word out again about this coming Sunday’s show.
Eclectica is the name of a Christmas program that the Diva and her good friend, Princess FlickerFeather, conceived of several months ago. They found some scripts for skits, selected music, actors and other performers and worked up their own choreography for the program. They then broke the cast into three groups, with each group rehearsing one night a week for the past two months. As the producers, however, the Diva and Princess have had to be at all three rehearsals each week. There are certain compensations, however: I wonder if it’s coincidence that the Mall Diva’s sister, Tiger Lilly, has the most uncomfortable costume?
It is a Christmas program about the true meaning of Christmas, which you know is an important topic around this blog, and I’ve heard reports of some very talented performances at the rehearsals; including, I’m told, an impressive turn as a camel by a certain MOBster not related to me. The show is this Sunday night, December 16, at 6 p.m., with cookies and refreshments to follow.
Where: The Miracle Centre Church
125 21st Ave. S., S. St. Paul, MN 55075

Really? Yay!! There will be plenty of room! Come early and you can sit right in front!
Can you tell that I’m excited? I’ve had butterflies all week!
Wow! I saw the show and it was great! Especially the camel. A more suave and debonair camel I have never seen in all my days. 😉
Congratulations MD!!
*Sniff* The Mall Diva and Princess FlicerFeather have come a long way since they sang “A Whale in the Manger” at the Christmas Program when they were 5. (I’m looking for the photo).
SOOOO…..Where’s the follow up?!?!?! I’ve heard one review so far. Something about a farting ox, a spitting cantankerous camel, and a tear jerking rendition of “Oh Holy Night”. Wish I could have been there!
“A Whale in the Manger”???
Was that out of the same songbook as “Hark!, the Hair-lipped Angels…” or “Angels That We Heard While…”
(ducking now, watching out for the lightning bolts…)
HB – there’s a review of the show here.
