We were on a good streak until last evening when the rains came at about 4pm and washed out our play performance for the evening. It had been a gorgeous day, but it turned into a thunderstorm which forced the management to cancel the play and give us a night off. It was our first "loss" of the season. Our audience would have been small since the forecast was for stormy weather and there are people who don't relish the thought of sitting on metal seats when there is lightening in the area.
It was a wise decision and the hope is that many who would have come last night will come tonight instead. There is a big storm showing on the radar but it is still west of us in Oklahoma and not expected here until 8am tomorrow, if at all. It should be a very pleasant evening and we need to start a new "winning" streak. Outdoor theater has it share of risks from the weather, but more often than not, "neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night......." stays us from our appointed performance. The show goes on and we look forward to it.
Last year the weather was less forgiving and we lost about seven performances to bad weather. That generates a financial loss which is hard to overcome. Hopefully our final 20 performances will be performances and not in the weather column. It's hard to believe that we are almost to our final month of the season. We still have some construction projects to complete, the Christ of The Ozark renovation is not finished, but we do have some volunteer groups coming, so there is hope that we will finish strong and set the stage for the 2017 season. In everything we continue to trust God and His plan, pray for the workers to come to the harvest and the message to be delivered to believers and non-believers alike. God is Good and to Him be all the glory and praise.
