Drama | And Can It Be?

Wed, Jun 11, 2008

On Sunday, June 8th, CFOT presented “And Can It Be? A Musical Tribute to the Life of Charles Wesley” at Heritage Park Temple. The performance went very well and delighted the attending crowds.

The performance was not a “play” as such; it was a dramatic reading set to music. The decision to keep the set simple and avoid the gaudy trappings of costuming (wigs, pantaloons and the like) was intentionally made. Charles Wesley’s brillance came through his words and his music. Therefore it was decided that the production’s focus would be solely based around that – words and music. With four narrators, a worship band/brass combo, and some carefully selected powerpoint pictures, the story of Charles Wesley was brought to life.

Narrator 1 – Tracy Savage, Charles Wesley – Peter Robinson, John Wesley and additional male voices - Capt Rick Zelinskly, Narrator 2 – Rachel Sheils

Brothers “John” and “Charles” share a heated exchange on how to sing properly.

On strings, Claude Dagenais, Jon Savage, Amanda Swartz (vocals), Matt Sheils (bass), Mike Mailman (drums), Rebecca Pretty (keyboard), Alison Lublink, Rob Jeffery, Danette Downton, Ian Scott, and Mjr. Ray Harris (brass), Peter Lublink (visuals) and Mjr. Brian Slous (audio/sound).

“No!” Thunders John, “Grace is free to ALL, and free IN ALL!”

Praying Scripture – 1 Chronicles 16:29

“Ascribe to the LORD
the glory due his name;
bring an offering and come before him.
Worship the LORD
in the splendour of his holiness.”

Living Scripture - Hebrews 12:8-9

If you are not disciplined
(and everyone undergoes discipline),
then you are illegitimate children
and not true sons.
Moreover, we have all had human fathers
who disciplined us
and we respected them for it.
How much more should we submit
to the Father of our spirits and live!

Praying Scripture – 1 Chronicles 16:29

“Ascribe to the LORD
the glory due his name;
bring an offering and come before him.
Worship the LORD
in the splendour of his holiness.”

Living Scripture - Daniel 6:10

Now when Daniel learned
that the decree had been published,
he went home to his upstairs room
where the windows opened toward Jerusalem.
Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed,
giving thanks to his God,
just as he had done before.
