*Children of Eden – *July 8 – July 18, 2010 – directed by Fred Sternfeld
>From Stephen Schwartz (*Wicked, Godspell* and *Pippin*) and John Caird (*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."


*Honk, Jr.– *July 29 – August 1, 2010 – directed by Sarah Clare

 *Honk! Jr.* is a contemporary retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's
classic story, The Ugly Duckling.



*Pride and Prejudice – *August 12 – August 15, 2010 – directed by Mitchell
Fields

The carefully controlled and chess-like movements of polite society often
conceal passionate hearts, keen minds, and rebellious wills. High-spirited
Elizabeth Bennet attempts to stay true to her ideals while her meddlesome
mother schemes to get all five Bennet sisters married and to secure their
family's fate at all costs. Can a girl who refuses to abandon her
independent and scrutinizing ways find true love and a faithful heart? More
than one unexpected twist and shocking revelation await our heroine as she
must choose between the dashing Mr. Wickham and proud, aloof Mr. Darcy.
