December 3, 2004 - January 2, 2005
Music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz
Book by John Caird
Directed by Robert Hupp (The Spitfire Grill, The Grapes of Wrath)

Children of Eden is perhaps the least describable Schwartz musical
because it holds meaning on so many levels. The story is based on

Genesis--both the first books and the story of Noah's ark. But
audiences immediately experience that the relationships between Father, Adam,
and

Eve has more to do with earthly families, their immediate challenges
and their generational legacies. This is a wonderful show the entire
family will enjoy.

All evening curtain times for Children of Eden are at 7 p.m.
