Takin' It Through the Day: Contemporary Christian musical for teens

Takin' It Through the Day

A Christian musical with 9 contemporary praise and worship songs for youth and teenagers.

"'Takin' It Through the Day' helps teens take a humorous and practical look at not only reading the Bible every day, but allowing what they've read to shape their response to the situations life throws at them each day."
Cathy

In Takin' It Through the Day, we join a middle-school/high-school youth group as they take on the challenge of memorizing a Bible verse and putting that verse into practice. You'll spend the day with someone who uses "sticky" notes as a reminder, a person decked out in "God's armor", a worry-er, someone who's "learned to be content", and an entire youth group that longs to be attentive to God's "still, small voice" and "precious, holy counsel".

Nothin', no-no-no nothin' can separate us from God's love.

1) a piano score with guitar chords,
2) a sample music CD (a recording of Cathy singing the full version of each song),

4) 9 songs with sign language, motion options, violin & recorder parts,
5) a Bible study.

Purchase of the musical program ($50 plus shipping) grants you permission to make as many copies of the sheet music and script as needed for your performance plus permission to make and distribute copies of the sample music CD (a recording of Cathy singing the full version of each song) to your kids (a great way for them to learn the music quickly!).

To preview this musical play for youth, a script and sample music CD (a recording of Cathy singing the full version of each song) are available for $7 plus shipping. If you'd like to use the 10-12 minute script and insert your own songs, purchase of performance rights for the script is $15 (script can be sent via e-mail to save shipping charges). If you already have a script written and would like to use some of the songs from this musical, sheet music is available for $3.00 per song plus shipping. Sheet music includes piano score and guitar chords. No CD is included when you purchase sheet music for individual songs.

A rehearsal CD (keyboard only - no vocals) is also available for $20 plus shipping, for those times when your piano player isn't available or when you need to free up your hands to teach actions or sign language. This CD may also be used for your performance - it's like hiring a piano player who plays the music the same way every time!

"We used 'Takin' It Through the Day' for music camp and had a WONDERFUL week. The kids and I totally enjoyed each and every piece of music. I really like the 'biblical' foundation of the text and music. I will need another musical for next year's camp, so keep on writing!"

Anita K., Saskatchewan Music Camp for Children

"'Takin' It Through the Day' was so much fun! The kids did a great job and it was so great for the congregation! I heard many, many great comments. Thank you!"

Pastor Ruth, St. Timothy Lutheran Church

"Our 7th and 8th graders performed 'Takin' It Through the Day' and they did a FANTASTIC job! Thank you for writing such great God-honoring music and a great script. I hope you will continue to compose more musicals for teens, as this really fills a niche."'

Sheree F., St. Stephen's Church

"We found this musical to be a great and innovative way for our counseling staff to get the Gospel message through to our campers. They were a captive audience all summer and many stated the musical had been one of the highlights of the week."

Site Director, Heather L., Lake Wapogasset Lutheran Bible Camp

"Our cast members had so much fun with 'Takin' It Through the Day' last spring. Your music is great and the messages are inspirational. Thanks for sharing your talents with us so we can share the word with others!"

Terry M., Sydenham St. United Church

"We have used your musicals the past three summers and think they are GREAT!!"

Pete A., Portage Lake Covenant Bible Camp

"What I liked about it was its Biblical foundation. It was joyful and interesting while at the same time substantive. I noticed the joy that the young people exhibited as they entered into this musical. It seemed like it spoke to them as well as to those of us who were in the congregation."

Pastor Vernon R., Prince of Peace Lutheran

"We are really excited to perform 'Takin' It Through the Day'. We love the different styles of music and that the script is simple and we can adapt it to our needs. Thank you, Cathy!"
