<font class="Apple-style-span" face="tahoma, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="tahoma, sans-serif">I often find myself speaking with some love and affection for what is consistently proven to be great training and advanced performance skills in young actors. FPAC is providing that - and is demonstrating the fruits of their labor in a beautifully realized production of <i>CHILDREN OF EDEN.</i> Terribly difficult music, sung with precision and joy. Gentle, persuasive performances by everyone in the cast, many of you who are reading this will recognize. I'd like to particularly celebrate the work of Sean Grandillo, Caroline Hatch and Joel Scott Furr, whose passion and subtle realizations of vital moments were deeply moving. Natalie Green and David Robeano added the fine professional touch of mentors to this young, powerful cast. <br>
<br>Children of Eden is the story of the first 1000 years of the human race and how God learns what it means and how it hurts to be a father, while his children learn the meaning and sacrifice of love. Thought-provoking, moving, joyous theatre. This is the last weekend. Take a couple of hours and join us and celebrate the aspirations and remarkable talent of these young actors.
