Lighthearted Look at Moses

“Moses, Prince of Egypt,” an original musical comedy to be performed by 26 children ages 5 to 13, will be presented at Congregation Shir Ha-Ma’alot at 7 p.m. tonight and at 1 p.m. Sunday.

Written by Barry Koff, the congregation’s director of education, and directed by Jay Doige, the one-hour play takes a lighthearted look at the life of Moses from birth until he received the Ten Commandments, Koff said. He describes the production as more biblically correct than the recent animated movie released by DreamWorks, though the play does have fun with the characters.

Tickets are $3 for adults and $2 for children. Information: (949) 857-2226.
