Ten Virgins, Ten Stories - 10th Ward RS Birthday

The 10th ward presented a wonderful musical parable (written by Emily Freeman) on Tuesday, March 9th in the Stake Center.  Evelyn Stallings & her presidency & board - what a spiritual night.

Patti Davies was the director, with many others in the ward assisting.  When we walked into the chapel that night, the spirit was reverent and quiet - a perfect setting for such a spiritual feast.  Costumes, stage setup, lighting, etc... were just amazing.  The entire ward appeared to be involved - from the High Priests in charge of the Nursery to all those who decorated - it was so well done!

The cast included Sandy Clifford (narrator), Marialice Nielson (Eliana), Angella Hutchings (Ashira), Val Schilling (Dina), Nedra Sproul (Nava), Karen Lonsdale (Gabriella), Patti Davies (Adi), Emma Hutchings (Liraz), Amanda Richmond (Malka), Kris Quinn (Leora), and Pattie Briggs (Jessa).

Following the presentation in the chapel was a wedding feast in the cultural hall.


(For more information - the BYU Bookstore carries the CD, script, etc...  Here is a brief description:)
