He took a chance on me and endured some of my roughest stories, especially during my first semester, where I realized that I had a lot of work to do. He was instrumental in my growth as a reader and writer. Warmest thanks to Robert Pope, professor emeritus from the University of Akron. He is, without question, one of happiest professors and individuals I have ever known. His contagious personality and encouragement went a long way in my first few semesters, as well as his honest feedback and suggestions. He once said I wrote a “beautiful essay” about a story we had read, and that comment meant so much. He has meant so much. Warmest thanks Eric Wasserman, professor at the University of Akron, as well as my thesis director.

  • Mary, Joe and the Angel
    Mary, Joe and the Angel A simple telling of the Christmas story. A narrator reads the rhyming text while a group of actors do the actions, some of which occur several times. Feel free to change any of them or add your own as best suits your group. Once there was an angel, (Say ‘Flap flap’ and flap arms) And a girl called Mary. (Smile and wave at the audience) The angel came to see her, (Say ‘Flap flap’ and flap arms) And it was all a bit scary. (Look scared) Mary was in the kitchen (Smile and wave at the audience) Having a cup of tea, (Mime drinking, say ‘Slurp!’) When the angel appeared and said, (Say ‘Flap flap’ and flap arms) ‘Don’t be scared, it’s only me!’ (Look scared) Mary nearly fell over (Wobble a bit) She was so surprised! (Look amazed) The angel smiled and said, ‘Mary – (Say ‘Flap flap’ and flap arms) You can believe your eyes.’ (Rub eyes) ‘You’re going to have a baby! (Hold baby) You’re going to be a mum. (Push out tummy and pat it, as if pregnant) And this is good news for everyone, (Thumbs up) So don’t look so scared and glum.’ (Look scared) The angel then appeared in a dream (Sleep and make snoring noise) To Mary’s boyfriend Joe. (Wave) And told him not to be scared, (Look scared) ‘Go and marry Mary – hurry up! Go!’ (Point as if saying ‘Go!’ A few months went by and then, (Look at watch on wrist, and tap it) Mary and her husband Joe, (Wave) Went to register in Bethlehem (Mime writing an X in the air) It was a long, long way to go.
