This years theme - a few toys' tale of their worth.
Simple yet a thought provoking powerful theme.
About a few 'has been' toys, that are dysfunctional and hopelessly unattractive in front of the current hot models.
So, they are in the discounted heap.
A pilot scared of heights, a ballerina who cannot dance a clown who cries...all feeling worthless and low.
Oh! Who will buy these toys? What chance do they have?
Except the action guy who's been the previous two years' top toy.
Discounted this year, yet the one toy who believes in his worth.
Perfect.
Just as the toy maker intended.
He persuades the rest, to reach out and look beyond their imperfections to the perfection they were intended, to their ability to bring joy to a child.
How one person can make a difference in the face of obvious odds.
I got this in a fortune cookie months ago in a Chinese restaurant, and still carry it around in my purse - Think highly of yourself, for the world will take you on your own estimate.
Sorta self appraisal.
That’s what it is worth.

Hey what about mine!
You have an elegant and insightful way of crafting your thoughts, especially of "An Evening in December." I happen to be one of the 200 cast members (for the past six years), and I know what a wonderful experience it is to be a part of delivering our director's vision. I hope you come back next year to enjoy his next vision, theme, plot, and music as we tell another tale of "An Evening in December."
