About Freedom: A Rock Musical by Chari Smith

Freedom is a high-energy rock musical by Chari Smith—a bold reimagining of the story of Moses. It pulls back the curtain on this ancient tale, giving voice to the women whose courage has long been overlooked and revealing the family who shaped him. A powerful story of our shared humanity that asks: what are you willing to fight for?
