Full Flame turns Friday night into an original theatrical production
Esther Morival directed and produced an original two-act production that united an intergenerational cast, live choir, dance, theatrical design and coordinated costuming.
Costume World provided much of the theatrical wardrobe for the production.
CORAL SPRINGS, FL. By Friday evening, the ballroom that had held four days of worship, teaching and conversation had become a theater. The lights fell on a furnished living-room set, and an original story opened through dialogue, music, dance and worship: The Preparation of the Bride: Through Heaven’s Eyes.
Writing shaped for the room
Esther Morival directed and produced the play, writing the script with Karelis Zamora, who also played one of the principal characters. The story followed a young woman through competing influences and relationships toward redemption and preparation for Christ’s return.
Their writing let conversations unfold without reducing every character to a lesson. The women onstage disagreed, paused and listened. Those quieter exchanges set up the relationships before the production opened into its larger musical and choreographed moments.
Live choir and choreographed movement were woven into the narrative rather than dropped between scenes. Each song and dance carried the story forward. The choir answered moments in the drama, and the dancers carried its themes into movement.
A cast formed across generations
The production brought together principal actors, dancers, a live choir and supporting performers spanning multiple generations. Tanisha Ezcaman, Alexsandria Mitchell, Darionna Turner, Karelis Zamora and Mo’nek Wilson were among the principal cast members. Children, teenagers and adults shared the stage throughout the evening.
The cast rehearsed during convention week while also participating in the wider program. Performers seen in daytime sessions returned to the ballroom in costume Friday night, bringing together people whose ages and responsibilities might otherwise have placed them in different rooms.
Wardrobe gives the production a shared language
Costume World of Pompano Beach provided much of the production’s wardrobe. Coordinated white, cream and gold costuming gave the cast a unified look while letting each character’s dress mark a distinct role, and it held that continuity across children, teenagers and adults.
Founded in 1973, Costume World maintains a collection of more than 1.5 million costume pieces, including wardrobe from Broadway productions. Its collection put professional wardrobe on a volunteer cast.
An audience responds
The performance ended with a curtain call, but the evening did not. The production moved into worship and ministry, and much of the audience stayed.
That response reflected the role Full Flame holds at FreedomGRC, where the stage points back to worship.
Full Flame is scheduled to return Friday evening during Get Ready 2027. The performance will be one of the convention’s free public evening events.
