PRiMA Theatre to Present 'Children of Eden'

PRiMA Theatre will present Children of Eden on Sundays, September 6, 13, and 20 at 7:00pm at St. James Episcopal Church in Lancaster. Tickets to the show start at $22.00 and are available at primatheatre.org or by calling the box-office at (717) 327-5124.

Children of Eden is loosely based on the stories from the Book of Genesis. This heartfelt musical is a tale about the difficulties of parenting, breaking generational patterns, and the power of second chances. Experience this moving musical in concert staging within the magnificent St. James Church in Lancaster City.

Songs from Children of Eden include “Spark of Creation,” “Lost In The Wilderness,” and “Hardest Part of Love.”

The show loosely journeys from the creation story (Act I) to Noah and the flood (Act II). With the same principle actors playing the feature roles in each act, we see the semblance and patterns of each era's family struggles.

From the inspiration and curiosity of Eve, to the dead-fast love of Yonah and Japheth, Children of Eden reflects the heights and perils of humanity. Amidst this tale is a gorgeous score from the composer of Wicked, Stephen Schwartz.
