Nothing is quite as moving as “a story well-told,” and Easter offers us the opportunity to share the greatest story ever told to a world that desperately needs to hear it. Telling the Easter story well is at the heart of See What a Morning, a creative, moving Easter musical created by Mark McClure that will intimately draw your audience into the Passion narrative from first note to last. Magnificent prose and poetry from award-winning author Nikki Grimes’ best-selling book, At Jerusalem’s Gate, will take the listener from the Triumphal Entry to the Cross to the Resurrection in an easy-to-stage Reader’s Theatre format. Featuring the vivid story-telling power of hymns by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend, Camp Kirkland has skillfully arranged this 30-minute work for smaller choirs or larger choirs with limited rehearsal time. For ministries of every size, let See What a Morning “tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love” in a vibrant and life-changing way this Easter.
