Great stuff, Jenny.
Those Gemmy Lights are under $30, and I can already think of MANY drama lessons they could be used with. A great "creative closet" addition.
For example....I was watching a funny Youtube the other day which used a blue tarp stretched across a rope to simulate water. From the point of view of the audience, the kids looked like they were standing/diving in the water. I immediately thought of Jesus, Peter and the Boat. Put two tables behind that blue tarp, one for the cardboard boat, and the other for Jesus to walk on. Add one of your gemmy lights and you have quite the memorable scene.
((BTW...if you had two tarps hanging over two long tables, you could pull the tables/tarp apart to reveal "dry land" for the Exodus story.))
