Resumé

Morgan is currently celebrating the winter holidays in Florida as a Voices of Liberty chorus member in one of Walt Disney World’s longstanding traditions: the Candlelight Processional. This annual live Christmas event is held in both Disneyland Park in California and Epcot at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. Created by Walt Disney himself over 65 years ago, the concert features the Voices of Liberty, celebrity narrators, a 50-piece orchestra, and a mass choir coming together to tell the story of Christmas. Tony DeRosa, long-time conductor and music director for Disney Live Entertainment, served as music director this year.

Morgan recently appeared in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical (Little Eva/Shirelle) at Greenbrier Valley Theatre directed by Cathey Sawyer, as well as Matilda, directed and choreographed by Christopher Rice-Thomson at Wolfbane Productions, and A Christmas Carol (Clara) and Rock of Ages (Sherrie US, perf and Ensemble), both directed by Dustin Williams, at Wolfbane Productions.​

Equally passionate about the development of new works, Morgan has participated in workshops for two operatic projects: Post Pardon: The Opera, by the poet and professor Arisa White at Colby College and Nightcaps, a new musical drama by lyricist Brooke Vandervelde and composer Richard Rose at Second Stage Theater. Post Pardon: The Opera draws on African diasporic spirituality and folklore to tell the story of Willow, a queer activist confronted by the ghost of her estranged mother. With its concern for gendered and ecological violence, Post Pardon is the transgenerational apology needed to repair a Black woman’s soul. Nightcaps, a new musical drama is set at a fictional small college in the present, with flashbacks to 1910 and 1940. As five friends conduct research in the college archives, the incidents they encounter come to life on the stage, challenging the students’ understanding of themselves, race, and violence.

Morgan is enthusiastic about reanimating complex and often-forgotten histories for modern audiences and has presented the legacies of several African-American women local to Lynchburg, Virginia in collaboration with the Southern Memorial Association (SMA), a non-profit managing the historic Old City Cemetery (OCC), a 27-acre landmark with Confederate, African-American, and military history from all wars.
