MOUNT OLIVE — The University of Mount Olive Theatre Arts program is entering its final week of preparation for The Prince of Egypt, set to take the stage April 17–19 in Hazel Waters Kornegay Assembly Hall.
Marking the University’s first full-scale musical of this scope, the production brings together a talented cast and crew of students delivering a powerful story of faith, freedom, and reconciliation.
Directed by Holly Rector, the show highlights months of preparation, with students taking on multiple roles both on stage and behind the scenes. The production features a strong vocal ensemble, supported by a newly installed sound system that will create an immersive audience experience.
“This is a big, meaningful production for our students and for UMO,” Rector said. “The music is powerful, and the story resonates in a way that we hope will stay with audiences long after the final curtain.”
Performances will be held Friday, April 17, and Saturday, April 18, at 6 PM, with a Sunday matinee on April 19 at 4 PM. The show runs approximately two hours and 20 minutes and includes an intermission.
Tickets are available now at www.umo.edu/Prince-of-Egypt. Seating is limited, and early reservations are encouraged.
