Children of Eden is a show largely about parenthood. About what we bring to and leave to the next generation. About all of the hopes and dreams we try to gift them, and what happens when they don’t react to those legacies in the way we expect. About anger, and disappointment, and loss. But it is also about hope. About connection. About forgiveness. And that so often the hardest part of love is letting go.
This music-driven masterpiece by Stephen Schwartz (Godspell, Pippin, Wicked) brings humor and heart, conflicts and flaws, and humanization of the divine to allow us all to better understand our place in the universe.
We hope that you’ll join us for this wonderful production and walk away with the faith that no doom is written in the stars, it’s in our hand.
Performances are April 26th – May 4th, 2024 at The Jarson-Kaplan Theater at the Aronoff Center for the Arts.
