Every year, the Christmas production at Elevate Life Church gets bigger and better, and this year is no exception. “Once Upon a Christmas” is the musical story of two toys that come alive on Christmas Eve, pleasantly interrupted throughout by acts that include professional ballroom dancers, an aerialist, a New Orleans-style band, over-the-top singing, Elevate Life’s very own choirs and more. Other exciting elements include a “star sheet” and snow falling down during the show. The production will conclude with a special Christmas message from Lead Pastor Keith Craft.
Lighting up the production again this year is iLuminate, the group of glow-suit dancers from “America’s Got Talent,” and their own Off-Broadway show. The group will have a featured performance in the production and will bring their unique fusion of dance, music and technology to North Texas this holiday season.
“It’s amazing to see the crowds that come to our Christmas production every year, with each year’s group bigger than the last,” says Pastor Keith Craft. “We’re so excited to reach Frisco and surrounding communities with the story of Jesus by giving them an entertaining story so they can hear the real message of the season. Our creative and production teams are like no other with the level of excellence they bring, and we’re thrilled to offer this superior program to our community.”
In addition to the amazing show, Elevate Life will have a “bigger than life” 36-feet Christmas tree in the lobby, perfect for photos. Mr. and Mrs. Claus will also be in attendance, joined by a gingerbread man, Elsa and Olaf from “Frozen,” and more.
“We’re so excited about this year’s production,” adds Creative Media Director Whitney Craft Jones. “Our teams have worked incredibly hard and we’ve brought in an amazing amount of talent to make sure ‘Once Upon a Christmas’ is our best show yet!”
