Children_of_Eden_edited.jpgChildren of Eden  

From Stephen Schwartz (Godspell, Pippin and Wicked) and John Caird (of Les Miserables) comes a joyous and inspirational musical about parents, children and faith. Loosely based on the story of Genesis, Children Of Eden is a frank, heartfelt and often humorous examination of the age-old conflict between parents and children. 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.” Show times are Oct. 8 and 9, at 8 p.m.; Oct. 10 at 2 p.m.; Oct. 14 at 7:30 p.m.; Oct. 15 and 16 at 8 p.m.; and Oct. 17 at 2 p.m. For ticket info, contact www.laclt.com.
