"The Final Flight," a play presented by Warner Baptist drama group was a delight for the congregation assembled at Providence Baptist Church in Leesburg, VA on Saturday, September 17, 2011. The play was directed by Sister Lucy O'Dell.

The cast also featured members of Mt Pleasant Baptist, Alexandria, VA and Macedonia Baptist, Arlington, VA.
Director/ Playwright - Deaconess Lucy O'Dell
Narrator - Deaconess Sarah Perry

     The play was about the sudden end of earthly life for several persons who had no anticipation that their earthly journey was about to end.  The reaction varied for all of them.  For two or three passengers it was a pleasant flight with a happy ending, however, for the rest of the passengers their journey ended before the flight reached Heaven.
     The play was entertaining, but yet, reality implications were present.  When you witness the play you realize that life, in a sense, is like a bubble on water. 

     If you have not seen the play, I'd recommend you make it a goal to be present when the play is presented the next time.

     Sister O'Dell does a very good job of getting cast members and backups. 

The play has been presented by the drama group about 7 times in the metropolitian area.

The cast members and participants were:  Janice Somers; Marjorie Strothers; Carolyn Curseen; Amanda Brown; Grady Bryant; Reginia Crawley; Ruth Nelson; Albert Curseen; Evelyn Jordan; Mary Ingleton; Leon Henderson; Katherine Rucker; Millie Brooks; Carnell Richardson; Barbara Daggs and Barbara White.

Cast members with singing parts were:  Corrine Mansfield (Precious Lord); Amanda Brown (I Want to Be Ready); Ruth Nelson (I'll Go, If the Lord Needs Somebody); Mary Ingleton (I Beat the Devil Running); and Millie Brooks (May the Works I've Done Speak for Me).
