Children of Eden

Past productions

A play by and

Set against the well known stories of Genesis, the music of Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Godspell) brings the stories of creation, Adam and Eve’s expulsion from the Garden, Cain and Abel, and Noah and the Flood to life. But this is more than a retelling of the classic Biblical tales. Father puts the spark of creation into his children and when they grow and make choices that He doesn’t agree with they have to grow up and leave the garden. They have to learn the same lessons with their children, and so begins a cycle of parents and children that continues through the generations of Adam to Noah, and even continues through to us today.

“Our hands can choose to drop the knife
Our hearts can choose to stop the hating
For ev’ry moment of our life
Is the beginning…”
