The sixth Christmas show with the folks at Cornerstone Church (formerly First Southern Baptist) required several large scenes and a depiction of Heaven (Just a little chore, right?). Seger was obliged to build twenty-seven new flats for fifteen periaktoi needed to tell the story. A mall and the interior of an old Victorian house were part of the mix. After several iterations for Heaven – including dropping gold lame’ strips, covering all of the periaktoi with black cloth, using slit drape, making swags across the stage – the obvious inserted itself: LIGHT. We would end the show with Heaven as an ethereal, substantial, unavoidable presence, flooding the room with a searing light. Fog and 3000 watts of illumination rendered the effect sublime. Chris Baldinger, Walter Dill and Jeff Osgood contributed their considerable painting skills to make the final look possible.
The story is about a man – Walt – who is dying and wants to give something to the
children he has neglected for the past ten years – a good (Heavenly) father.
This is his and their journey.
