Moonlight Stage Productions Closes its 2025 Summer Season with "The Prince of Egypt"
Through September 27, 2025 • 7:30 pm
Journey through the wonders of Ancient Egypt as two young men, raised together as brothers in a kingdom of privilege, find themselves torn apart by a hidden truth. One is destined to wear the crown of Pharaoh, while the other must rise up to lead his true people to freedom — a journey that will change history forever.
This sweeping story of faith and courage brings the Book of Exodus to life with unforgettable stagecraft, from the plagues of Egypt to the parting of the Red Sea.
Acclaimed composer Stephen Schwartz provides the score, including “Through Heaven’s Eyes,” “Deliver Us,” and the Academy Award-winning anthem “When You Believe.”
“The Prince of Egypt” is a powerful finale to Moonlight’s summer season — a theatrical event filled with breathtaking dance, soaring music, and a timeless message of resilience and hope.
