The Gospel According to Jacobi

Writer, artist, actress, comedienne, musician, evangelist...Evangelist?...Preacher of the gospel of John?  John Pierpoint?  Really?  Has Ciara Jacobi finally discovered her calling?

There's no denying that Ciara knows more about Jingle Bells than any person should.  And the enthusiasm with which she speaks of Mr. Pierpoint's less-than-successful life does bring a tear to the eye, although it should be because of sadness, not hilarity!  What person, watching from the house of Georgetown Middle School's theater, failed to notice Matt Rogers' and Jack Shinn's thinly-veiled glee when Ciara delivered the line: "Five years later, he was dead!"

"Has the gift, the child does!" Yoda giggled, trying to persuade Ms. Jacobi to deliver her lines slow enough that they could be understood by creatures other than hummingbirds.  "If figure out, she does, the discipline of timing, rolling in the aisles, the audience, she will have."
