We are working hard to get things ready for show HOPE's presentation of Cinderella this Friday, May 14th! I thought I would show you a little sneak peek behind the scenes of the rehearsals. This is going to be a fantastic show! We can not wait for all of you to see it. If you haven't gotten tickets yet, it is not too late. We have a special $30 ticket deal going right now. So, hurry up and get your tickets for this ONE TIME ONLY performance! Hope to see you all there!
How about a DVD for those too far away to attend??

We would soooo love to be able to witness this magical evening! For once this Mama is the one going around saying "do we HAVE to go to school today?" :) Yes, we do have school and we live over five hours away. But, are wishing you, Steven, and your family and those Blessed to SEE this magical performance a spectacular evening!!

I heard from someone that there is NO scenery in this production.
I hope this is not true. My tickets have already been bought by a friend but if there's no scenery I would like a refund.
You just can't have the play Cinderella and not have ANY scenery.

I agree with others before; I would buy a DVD but live too far away to attend. Please consider this for your supporters!

Steven, you are so funny! Have you ever given thought to being an entertainer? ;o)

Diane...get over it. Use your imagination!! (and your tickets are free- going towards a great purpose!!)
Posted by: Leah | May 11, 2010 at 05:52 PM
Leah...take a hike! For $50 I don't think I should have to use my imagination.

So excited to see SCC and Cinderella and to be able to help support Show Hope scenery or no scenery! Thankful for the servant hearts of the Chapman family!!! Adoption has not only given me a beautiful daughter but new and awesome friendships along the way. I will be leaving at 5:30am Friday heading to Nashville and I am so excited to see what God has in store for this wonderful even!!!!!!

Wish I could attend...it is going to be fabulous. But then again, I wouldn't expect anything less when honoring such an amazing little girl.
Best wishes tomorrow night!

I remember seeing R & H Cinderella for the first time. I thought Leslie Ann Warren was the most beautiful princess ever! The songs are still dear to my heart!
Though I'm too far away to be there in person, I will be there in spirit and pray that this commemoration of Maria's life is all that you hope it to be. I know it will touch many hearts! I'll bet I know two little girls who will be tickled pink!
May it be a happy evening for your family... remembering only the good things in her life and ALL the amazing things that have happened since your little princess went to Heaven.

I live in Washington state, and would also like to see it come out in DVD. Steven, my thoughts and prayers were with you and your family when Maria went Home to be with Jesus. I can't begin to imagine the pain, but I do know the loss of a loved one, and how God can, will, and does carry you through it all. God bless you and your family, and I hope all went well.

Hey Steven! This is totally off topic, so get ready. My name is Mattie, I'm part of the Patterson gang. We met you backstage after the concert at Seaworld in San Antonio. That was a touching show. You made that night one of the most memorable and special nights of my life. Your family shares the same bondage of the orphan as mine. I just want to say that I love y'all! My little sister, Chrissie (4 Serbia), has been in the hospital a full month getting her heart fixed. She would have died in Serbia if we didn't rescue her. After the scary open heart surgery, she died TWICE! The only one that could revive her was the Great Physicion. And He showed His miraculous hand through it all. She is not doing well right now, so please pray. Would you mind going by our family's blog Allarepreciousinhissight.blogspot.com and reading her life changing story? It's worth your time! I continue to pray for you and your amazing family!
In Christian sister love,
Mattie (12)

I've listened to u senceu frist comeout, and when I was 5- the age 17. My grandma had every cd u ever mad , but she past a way 1 year ago and not only that I I'm a recovering addict. I listen too your song that she gave me,and it makes me remember our rides to Texas. I was raised by here, and my mom work all the time. Also had a sister that committed suicide 6 years ago. And not long after, my mom was diagiost with Emphuzma, she only has one percent of on lung. The other on is no use to her body, and she's had a herina after she had gave birth to me.

I will always love every cd and wish I could see u live in consert. Pray for me and my family. God bless you all keep me anting more from jesus.

The last comment I sent to you was kind of introducing myself. Now I just have to share something with you. I met you backstage after the concert in San Antonio at Seaworld. I left that night with a strange feeling. I shared with you about my little sister (4, Serbia) who had heart surgery on April 19, 2010. Exactly one month after her surgery (May 19, 2010) she went Home to be with Jesus. I feel like I went to your concert for a reason, to prepare me for this. When I left that night I knew something wasn't right. And I was OK with Chrissie going to be Jesus' dance partner. Thank you for all of your songs of healing, I love you and your family. Thank you. You can read all about her amazing life at: Allarepreciousinhissight.blogspot.com.

I can't believe you're going to be here in Williamsburg, VA in just a few short weeks.
So very cool that The Patterson Gang was able to meet you. I was actually writing to you to ask for extended prayers for that family.
I followed their adoption of their Serbian Sensation Chrissie right up thru her heart surgery til she went to meet Jesus. All the prayer warriors feel as strongly about this little girl as their parents. What a wonderful family that we have all come to know thru their blog that Mattie posted above. Amazing people raising such amazing children.
I'm asking for a special prayer for them and especially Emily who lives on their farm. She and Chrissie were apparently quite close and this is hitting her rather hard. Please keep them all in their thoughts as they prepare for her funeral on Sunday and private burial on Monday.
Thanks,
Teri in Williamsburg, VA!
