PLAYBILL CHRISTIAN FAMILY THEATER - ONLINE SHOWS CHRISTIAN FAMILY THEATER PRESENTS NOV 20 - DEC 18, 2020 Our Pandemic Response Dear CFT Family, Thank you so much for your support of Christian Family Theater. This year has been a very challenging year for our world. On March 12 CFT made the call to halt rehearsals for High School Musical Jr. which was slated to open in April. It was one of the most difficult decisions we have ever made as an organization but we knew that no matter how hard, it was the right one. As we began to realize that organizations like ours we going to have to wait much longer than anticipated before we could resume live productions our staff began looking into ways to keep performing arts alive for our young actors. Over the summer we, took online classes, learned new software platforms, purchased new equipment and services as well as putting new infrastructure in place. All these efforts would allow us to continue offering performance arts to our young actors by producing online musicals using the zoom platform. As the year continued we began to realize that organizations like ours which depend on revenue from event ticket sales were going to be closed much longer than anticipated. But each month bills for our overhead expenses continue to arrive. Even as our executive staff has chosen not to be paid for the hours they working, we continue to pay out more than we can generate each month. As we are coming to the end of 2020 we hope that you would consider a tax deductible gift to CFT to help us continue to pay the necessary overhead to keep our organization open. Any donation would be appreciated. We hope that some of you might consider a small $5 -$20 monthly donation. If we could have 25 families willing to support us with a $20 monthly donation we could cover mearly all our overhead expenses. Stop by the CFT website and click on the donate button to give today. www.cftchattanooga.com/donate.html Christian Family Theatre is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. All donations are tax deductible. 2 CHRISTIAN FAMILY THEATER PRESENTS Music by TIMOTHY ALLEN MCDONALD JONATHAN K. WALLER Lyrics by TIMOTHY ALLEN MCDONALD JONATHAN K.

What are you learning about yourself in this time of social distancing?: I’m creative in a lot more ways than I realized!! I’ve done sewing projects, made room decor, and done a ton of things outside of my normal Drawing Cartoons. I painted flowers on a pair of jeans the other day and I LOVE THEM. Favorite Broadway Celebrity: Carrie Hope Fletcher!!! She’s so talented and i love how body positive she is on social media.

From broadway.com vlogs to classes with the hosts of those vlogs, I have really dedicated this time to improving my craft and learning little things about myself in the process. Favorite Broadway Celebrity: Elle McLemore. I am lucky enough to be one of her students and she is the kindest and most generous person that I have ever met. She originated two of my dream roles, Eva Darlington in Bring It On and Heather McNamara in Heathers and I look up to her so much for that. She also has a company called Established Magic that is awesome. 6 Name: Bentley Pearson Hometown: Chattanooga, TN Role: Cool Callie Favorite Broadway Musical: Three way tie between Mean Girls, Hamilton and Six If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would yougo and what would you do?

I learned that I can not only survive, but I can thrive because I am strong and have the most amazing family in CFT!
