The Promise: When Dreams Come True, Stories Live, and Nothing is Impossible with God

December 14, 2017 / Kiersti Giron / Christmas, faith, God's faithfulness, Jesus, Joseph, Mary, Michael Card, theater, writing

Last week, I sat in a darkened church and saw a story live and breathe on stage…the story of Immanuel. I saw a young girl, unsure about being betrothed to a man she knew little, have her world turned upside down when one of God’s heavenly warriors showed up in her little home in Nazareth, […]

He Never Said It Would Be Easy: of Theater Productions, Marriage, and the First Christmas

It’s almost Christmastime. In many ways, the season has already begun—Christmas music on the radio, Christmas movies on Netflix. We even got our Christmas tree this past Sunday, much to our kittens’ amazement and delight—and some scolding as we learn the Christmas tree is for looking at, lying under, and gently playing with the lower […]

Someday, Somewhere: Of Shootings and West Side Story, Then and Now

October 3, 2016 / Kiersti Giron / racial reconciliation, song, theater
0

We stood in the parking lot, my sister and mom and I, talking animatedly though the clock ticked toward eleven at night.   It was this summer, less than two weeks after the killings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, followed by the shooting of five police officers in retaliation, and the country was reeling. […]

The Impossible Dream: Newsies, Abolitionists, and Us

April 15, 2015 / Kiersti Giron / abolitionists, faith, history, Newsies, The Impossible Dream, theater, Walter Scott

  Recently, my family had the treat of seeing a live production of the Broadway musical Newsies. My feet tapped and heart swelled with delight as I watched the singing, dancing, show-stopping performance. Little puts a grin on my face as easily as top-notch musical theater! (If you’re the same way, watch this trailer—doesn’t it […]

He is Here: Immanuel in the New Year

  On Sunday I sat and watched as a script I’d written came to life.   A project that’s been growing for four and a half years now, this little drama explores the journey of Mary, Joseph, and the other human participants in Jesus’ coming to earth, built into a musical around Michael Card’s beautiful […]

Let It Go: The Great Divorce, Frozen, and Psalm 46:10

March 12, 2014 / Kiersti Giron / books, C.S. Lewis, faith, Let It Go, The Great Divorce, theater, trust

I went on a bus trip to heaven the other night. We sat on padded chairs in the rearranged sanctuary of a community church and watched as a troop of Christian actors—the same group who gave Godspell a couple of years ago —brought C.S. Lewis’s The Great Divorce to life before our eyes. We joined […]

All He Asks of Us

Do you ever find it hard to catch your breath? My dear friend and college roommate came to spend this past weekend with me. While we had a lovely, relaxing time, she was heading back to an increasing pile of responsibilities and tasks this week. Then Monday I visited my rather overwhelmed sister at college, where […]

Aiming at Heaven

July 16, 2013 / Kiersti Giron / community, faith, Jesus, theater

I was a teen when I first heard it, that C.S. Lewis quote our pastor mentioned one Sunday morning in northwest New Mexico—that aiming at heaven would get you earth thrown in, but aiming at earth would get you neither. I wrote it in my journal, the little notebook covered with dark blue fabric printed […]

Singin’ the Post-Show Blues

It’s always a little hard to come down from the mountaintop of a performance weekend—all the weeks and months of hard work leading up to a show, and then it’s over in just a few days. I’ve heard it called the post-show blues, and I know many from our Josephcast have been dealing with those […]

Another Op’nin, Another Show

Those lyrics from Kiss Me, Kate—though I’ve actually never seen that musical—usually start going through my head about this time. Tonight marks the opening of our theater company’s summer musical—yay! And yikes! Unexpected challenges and curveballs always seem to hit when you’re putting on a theater production (well, why should this part of life be […]
