The thing about THE TESTAMENTS OF ONE FOLD AND ONE SHEPHERD (which I saw yesterday morning) that was so special to me is how it answered this question. Jesus does know all of us, and He does have time for all of us, even if we, in our finite minds, can't imagine or understand how He could. Thank you, Sharlee, for writing a story that teaches this.

And of course "Wizard of Oz" is swell. They both violate the time factor, though: They're both around 2 1/2 hours long. So in that regard, "Joseph" has 'em beat, in terms of keeping kids' attention.

"A Christmas Carol" is a good one -- and in fact, it DOES get performed countless times in Utah every year, probably for many of the same reasons as "Joseph." Eric D.

Well, maybe that's something to try to accomplish in Mormon Arts--more short musicals that kids and adults can enjoy.
