Moses and the Freedom Fanatics

You may not know this, but this musical about Moses is really about a little slave girl named Joanna.  :)

Or at least that’s how it will appear in this blog post.

Joanna and I went over to the sanctuary before the performance… for legitimate choir directorial work…

but also so I could scope out the best seat for Matt to take pictures.

Ahem.

She has the bug.  She feels the need to be dramatic when presented with an empty stage.

I have no idea where she gets this.

In the music suite before the show – watching the big kids.

All lined up!

Almost ready to start!

In the first song the slaves are chanting for freedom.  And they’re angry!

I remember seeing her do this, but I can’t remember why.  She feels the drama.

Getting ready to be a plague of frogs:

Great jumping shot!

Ummm… the directors were in the show too.  We were divas (in case you couldn’t tell).

Matt says it looks like Joanna was balancing herself here.

Marching to the promised land!

Shalom.

The curtain call was a bit loud I guess.  :)

After the performance we headed to the gym to eat cookies and give the children certificates.

Have I taught this girl to pose or what?!!

The stars of the show!

The kids did soooo well – I’m so proud of them!

There are our names in the program!

I’m going to take better pictures of it in the light tomorrow.

I’ve been waking up early with my mind racing the past few days.  I’m hoping now that the musical is over I’ll be able to sleep!

I don’t know what I’m going to do with my Wednesday evenings for the next few months though.

  1. Joanna is ADORABLE!! Love the drama! It's funny that you were a director for a Moses musical recently, b/c Missy directed a different Moses musical at Faith Family Baptist that took place on Sunday!! Crazy!
