Thanks to all.  You were awesome.  Very talented indeed.  Our decisions were unanimous—a rare occurrence indeed.  If you would like to discuss your audition/interview, you need to make an appointment for Monday morning or Tuesday. 

OUR GIANNI’s Fundraiser is due next Thursday.  As a group--NO MONEY brought in = no show.  We must have a budget to work off of.  Sell five kits.  Make a donation.  Sell an ad to a local business.  We need your participation in this effort

Our only rehearsal next week will be Tuesday January 12th 2:30-6 for All Cast and Crew.

There is a Mamas and Papas meeting that evening at 6:30.  Please invite your parents to come.

 Make sure you are there OR come talk to Mrs Heyl immediately if you have a conflict.  You are only allowed three absences for the show.  Beyond that---your part/position may have to be reevaluated.  Full show calendars will come out on that day.

All company actors:  The following week music rehearsals will be  Tues 1/19, Wed 1/20, and Thurs 1/21 from 2:30-4:15 

All Crew and Animals:  Meet Wednesday  1/20 and Thursday  1/21  2:30-4:15

Our Spring Musical

Children of Eden 

by Stephen Schwartz

 

Two Acts, Book Musical, Pop / Rock, Rated PG
Papermill Playhouse Production (1998)

From Stephen Schwartz ("Godspell" and "Pippin") 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."

Casting notes:

Children in cast
Includes older role(s)

The Authors have found the show to be most effective when performed by a truly multi-racial cast.

Some of the STORYTELLERS should be dancers if there is to be/was a choreographic element in the larger musical numbers. "Let There Be", "Generations," "Ain't It Good" and both "animal numbers" are particularly appropriate for this treatment. The ANIMALS themselves are to be played by STORYTELLERS where indicated in the text
