This week we spoke with: Rosemary
How long have you been involved in ESG?
I was around at the beginning, but I haven’t been involved every single year. I’d hav to look back. I’m pretty sure it was before 2001.
What’s your favourite thing about ESG (other than snacks!)?
It’s changed over the years. There have been times when it’s that time in Room 8 before the first presentation when the kids are are getting their notes and there’s all that energy. At other times my favourite part has been when the children serve communion at the end. I’ve often been very moved by that.
What has been your favourite ESG performance?
Jacob’s Ladder, when two kids were hip hop dancing/wrestling. Gilbert and Oliver portrayed Jacob and Esau as the twins fighting to get out of the womb, hip hop dancing/battling to get out first.
If you could play any fictional character, who would you choose and why?
Gandalf. He has a lot of power, but there are just some really wise things he says in the journey. He GETS the journey.
