Yesterday I had the opportunity to see "Punchinello The Musical: You Are Special" at the 1st church of Chiang mai. (The 1st Church of Chiang mai website http://www.firstchurchcm.com/)
There were cocktail booths on both of the church wings. The show ticket had some parts to tear off as coupons. It was a lively atmosphere with many people both child and old. Very happy and warm.

Telling a story of a wooden doll town call Wemmick. A town were the dolls compete to gain a golden star for being victorious and in contrast receiving an ugly black circle for losing. Punchinello own only those ugly circles because he is bad in everything, a natural born loser? At the peak of his disgrace he meet Lucia who lead him to Eli his creator to learn the true meaning and value of life.
Honestly a particle spiritual story but always does the trick.
The show was truly beyond my expectation, every professional!!! I couldn't take any pictures cause they strongly prohibit due any cellular device to be turn on. Due to the ultra sensitive wireless microphones. But 2 thumbs up anyway!! The local cast was awesome, the script and songs were beautifully written, the production deserved a theater scale show.
I noticed that almost 1 of 4 of the audience were foreigners who seems to be feeling very at home.
The church plays a major rule for the in ex-pads or long stays. It serve as a spiritual pillar also a community.
Chiang Mai is blessed with the freedom of belief a mix culture of Muslim, Christians, Buddhist and other religious all living peacefully. A great blessing badly needed for the world right now.
A story of the lost and out of place is a classic for everyone. I believe all or us had contact that feeling more or less in our lives but you will hardly feel that way in the multi culture town of Chiang Mai
