Richard tells us how the show went:

Hi everyone,

Glad to report that the Australian premiere production was a
mammoth success! We had an audience of nearly 2000 people over the
weekend of the show. Everyone loved it.

We had snow machines, video screens and a huge lighting rig set
up. It was amazing to see grown adults playing in the snow that fell
over the audience and the standing ovation we got on Saturday night
as the father was reunited with her daughter in "This Christmas Day."

Take a look at some of the pics at
www.christmaseveandotherstories.net to see what we did. Good news is
that Panasonic shot the show for us in high definition, so I'm going
to cut it together onto a DVD. I might be able to work out someway
of posting a bit of it on here.

Anyway, the show was amazing and I'm thrilled that this was my
first production (I'm 20 years old) that I produced. We're already
talking about doing a bigger one next year or the year after.

Let me know what you think about the photos - email me at richard@
rsnlx.com or just post on this board.

Thanks
Richard
