The Strollers presents "Children of Eden"

Saturday, November 18, 2023 @ 8:00pm



Burgdorff Center for the Performing Arts
10 Durand Road, Maplewood, NJ 07040

The Strollers presents Children of Eden across three weekends from November 3-19, 2023 at the Burgdorff Center for the Performing Arts. From musical theatre greats, Stephen Schwartz and John Caird, comes a joyous and inspirational musical about parents, children and faith... not to mention centuries of unresolved family business!  It's about humanity - our first steps and fumbles, trials and triumphs, and ultimately how we live with one another on this earth.

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."

Performances take place Friday and Saturday, November 3-4 at 8:00pm; Sunday, November 5 at 2:00pm; Friday and Saturday, November 10-11 at 8:00pm; Sunday, November 12 at 2:00pm; Friday and Saturday, November 17-18 at 8:00pm; and Sunday, November 19 at 2:00pm.
