(running in, out of breath) Monique! I can���t find Clare!
KIDS:
What? Where is she? (etc.)
MONIQUE:
Has anyone talked to her lately?
T:
I did! Just yesterday I was feeling really nervous, but she
encouraged me!
CAITLIN:
She said she liked my painting. She���s nice.
MONIQUE:
I know she���s been struggling a bit in her lessons, but she sure has
kept us smiling this week.

BRICKLEBEE: (incredulously) Smiling? Encouraging? (stage whisper) Um, have
you heard ���Bessie���? (matter-of-fact) Let���s face it���if her talent is
that limited, she doesn���t belong here anyway.
BRICKLEBEE: (sincerely) Of course, Mary Lou.
(Starts to correct him, then thinks better of it) It���s . . . never mind. We
believe everyone is here for a reason. Society may tell us you have
to be talented or beautiful to make a difference, but as you can see,
everyone here is unique!
ZACH:
God cares about every one of us���even the people ���the world���
sometimes forgets to notice.

MONIQUE:
The Bible says that each person is so important to God that there
is a huge party in heaven every time one person decides to follow
Him. Even the angels rejoice!

MONIQUE:
BRICKLEBEE: Follow God? What does following God have to do with becoming
a star?
T:
That���s what we���ve been trying to say. We want to shine for Him!
(music begins to ���The Way���)
ZACH:
And praise Him by giving back the gifts He���s given to us!
MONIQUE:
You���re right, Zach. Only Jesus can fill the parts of us that feel
empty and make us feel really whole. He is the Way.
