CINCINNATI (AP) -- A spokeswoman at a Cincinnati mega-church says a Christmas pageant actor who fell about 25 feet during the show's opening night performance has died.That's a story that sends a chill through anyone who's worked in theatre, and our hearts go out to the families who lost a loved one in this accident.
Crossroads Community Church says 23-year-old Keri Shryock died Thursday morning at University Hospital. A church spokeswoman says Shryock was a graduate student at Xavier University.
Shryock was playing the role of a wise man in a contemporary Nativity story and was suspended by an overhead cable when she fell Wednesday night. A spokeswoman for the church says it's not clear how the accident happened.
The church says it has canceled the 10 remaining performance of the Christmas show.
That's why we all work hard and must stay vigilant to make the experience a safe one for the actors and tech crew.
