Synopsis:

Children of Eden is a Stephen Schwartz musical exploring the parent-child conflict using stories from the Book of Genesis, specifically the Creation and the Flood. It follows Adam, Eve, and their children, then Noah and his family, using the figures of "Father" (God) and "Storytellers" to comment on themes of faith, free will, and the difficult love in letting go.
