July 9-18
Sorg Opera House [Middletown]

Directed by Richard Lee Waldeck
Music directed by Sarah Plaugher
Choreographed by Maddy Weinkam

From musical theatre greats Stephen Schwartz (Wicked) and John Caird (Les Miserables) comes a joyous and inspirational musical about parents, children, and faith…plus centuries of unresolved family business!  Adam, Eve, Noah, and the “Father” who created them deal with the headstrong, cataclysmic actions of their respective children. The show ultimately delivers a bittersweet but inspiring message: that “the hardest part of love… is letting go.”

Upon returning from their honeymoon they discover that Austria has been invaded by the Nazis, who demand the Captain’s immediate service in their navy.
