“CHILDREN OF EDEN ” AT HATHAWAY BROWN THEATRE INSTITUTE- RUNS JUNE 30-JULY 9
by Beatrice Katz via NEohioPAL 23 Jun '17

23 Jun '17

“*Children of Eden*” BEGINS HATHAWAY BROWN THEATRE INSTITUTE’S *2017 SEASON FROM June 30- July 9, 2019* *Don’t miss this compelling family story from musical theatre genius Stephen Schwartz * SHAKER HEIGHTS, OHIO – Hathaway Brown Theatre Institute begins its 2017 summer season with the inspirational musical CHILDREN OF EDEN*, presented at Hathaway Brown School in Shaker Heights, Ohio, from June 30-July 9.* >From musical theatre greats, Stephen Schwartz and John Caird comes a joyous 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.” “It's about second chances, of course," says Schwartz – “a compelling family story of rage and guilt and their consequences, and the need to begin again.” Performances are Fridays and Saturdays, June 30, July 1, 7, 8, at 7:30 pm; and Sundays, July 2 and 9 at 2:00 PM. *The show is presented at the Hathaway Brown School, 19600 North Park Blvd., Shaker Heights, Ohio 44122. Tickets are $12-15 and can be purchased online at www.hb.edu/tickets <http://www.hb.edu/tickets>, by calling 216-932-4214 x7270 or at the door (if available) the day of the performance. * Directed and choreographed by Bebe Weinberg Katz and associate directed by Fred Sternfeld. CHILDREN OF EDEN will also feature musical direction by John Krol, set and lighting design by T. Paul Lowry, costumes design by Jacqueline Guerra, sound design by Carlton Guc and combat choreography by Ryan Zarecki. CHILDREN OF EDEN boasts a cast of some of the most talented student performers in NE Ohio. Now in its fifth year, The Hathaway Brown Theatre Institute was created by the Performing Arts Department of the Hathaway Brown School in Shaker Heights for students 1st grade – college. HBTI offers coursework in drama, dance and music. HBTI provides high-level training from working artists to young people interested in the performing arts, as well as professional-level production experiences.
