"The Trail of Light" and "Mary Did You Know?"

Beginning as an outdoor Drama, "The Trail of Light" interfaith Christian production was the conceived by CSA Board member Etheree Chancellor.
At the time the secretary for Cullowhee Baptist Church, she asked Amy Garza, a member, to consider writing the drama about the lineage of Christ, from Adam and Eve on down through the ages until the birth of Jesus. Amy accepted the challenge, and completed a script, along with the research of ministers and some chosen members from local Baptist and Methodist churches. Catch the Spirit of Appalachia donated all the costumes made by Paul Contin for their earlier play, "The Child of Christmas."
In the fall of 1999, the two women set forth to produce a drama that soon gleaned from 5 counties 150 cast and crew to continue through until 2005, when the Trail of Light Drama Team decided to add to the creation story, "Mary Did You Know?"





















In 2005, 50 people drawn from the cast of The Trail of Light, produced this new play "Mary Did You Know" that brought the story from the Christ's birth to a grown man.













In 2006, a new cast was chosen, with a new director, Teresa Eberly, who once again brought the story of the life of Jesus alive in "Mary Did You Know."
Here are some of the pictures from the play. If you'd like to see the complete story in pictures, go to: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~beberly/tol/2006/mdyk06.htm
