Auditions will be held at the Littleton Opera House on Thursday, August 19th from 6 – 8:30 pm and Sunday, August 22nd from 1 - 4 pm. Callbacks to follow on the 22nd as necessary. Children of Eden tells the story of the Book of Genesis from the Creation to Noah & The Great Flood. This incredible musical tells its wonderful tales in an accessible way and centers on the universal themes of love, loss, betrayal, family, and the struggles we all face as we look to find our place in this world. Children of Eden has music and lyrics written by Stephen Schwartz and book by John Caird. Stephen Schwartz is the creator of Broadway’s long running Wicked as well as classic musicals like Pippin and Godspell. |

This show is a great opportunity for aspiring actors of all ages. Upstage is a welcoming and nondiscriminatory organization and Children of Eden in particular is seeking an incredibly diverse and inclusive cast. We encourage community members to attend regardless of age, race, color, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, and/or experience. This story is told actively by an ensemble of “storytellers” whose speech, song, and movement will create a vibrant world and exciting story. There is so much opportunity.
Interested actors are asked to prepare a short song they know well, preferably from musical theatre repertoire. Please bring sheet music. Singing with accompaniment preferred. An accompanist will be provided. Actors may be asked to do some movement and/or read from the script. Come prepared to move.
Children of Eden will be directed by Andrew Lidestri, Artistic Director for Upstage Players, choreographed by Madalyn Sheehy & Lidestri, with music direction by Marie Snyder. All roles are open. Full character breakdown is available on our website. The show will rehearse and perform at the Littleton Opera House. Rehearsals begin August 25 and will take place most Wednesday and Thursday evenings as well as Sunday afternoons. Performance dates are October 29,30,31, and November 5,6, & 7.
