[NEohioPAL] TrueNorth Auditions: Children of Eden and Baby

Tue Oct 6 19:17:41 PDT 2009

*TrueNorth Cultural Arts Center*
is pleased to announce auditions for its' upcoming production of:

*CHILDREN OF **EDEN*

Music/Lyrics: Stephen Schwartz
Book: John Caird

Director/Choreographer:  Sean Szaller
Music Direction:  Rick Fortney

>From Stephen Schwartz ("Wicked") and John Caird of "Les Miserables" comes a
joyous and inspirational musical about parents, children and faith... not to
mention centuries of unresolved family business!

Freely 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."
