Family Photo


meet the family


No, no, no, it's not our family. These are the Soongs. They're the family in which our church play revolves around. It's Jesse's first acting stint though his role is only confined to this one appearance - on this photograph. Dad is played by Chris Chin, Mom is Ariel and Sis is Sarah. If you think Jesse looks a little blur, it's because he was. "Who are all these people!?"

A Little Less Conversation is our offering for this year's drama thing that my church has been doing for the last 5 or 6 years now. This time around, we're doing a light-hearted comedy musical centred around a man going through a bout of mid-life crisis who's only solace is in the King of Rock & Roll. Heh! Chris Leow and I wrote this with a little help from Julia. And if you didn't already know it, I'm a huge Elvis fan. Also, if you don't know it, it's my first stint as a playwright, so don't expect too much. :)

Our drama thing is open to public and is a yearly affair for our church - just to get people to step into our church and find out that, "Hey, church isn't as stuffy as I imagined it to be!" :) As such, seating priority is given to non church going folks. So, if you'd like to come, do call our church office at 03-78031526 and see if there are any seats left.

So there you have it. A story of life, love and rock & roll! And when you do see it, do drop by here and tell me if you liked it or if you thought it sucked.

  1. I once rewrote the entire Shakespeare play Twelfth Night into a script with a modern day twist for some random project in Form 4. It was brilliant too because the people I casted were excellent. Then I had to go and lose every copy we ever had of the script. :( I shoulda kept it.
    As long as the English is good, and toss in some laughs (which I know you're probably great at both!) it should be fine. Too bad I can't go and watch, take some videos and upload them so those of us who are far away can stream. :P

    Thanks Egghead. Rehearsals are coming along nicely.
    That's DUMC, Minishorts. Should get Eric to ask his cuz for a couple of ticks.
    That's a disservice to Chris Chin, eh, Ariel?
