Mission Viejo, CA – The Department of Theatre Arts at Saddleback, in conjunction with the City of Mission Viejo, is thrilled to present Children of Eden, music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and book by John Caird, at The Kershaw Garden on August 10th and 11th at 7:30 pm. Directed by Jonelle Allen and musically directed by David Anthony, this rock opera, performed by students in the Saddleback College Summer Conservatory program, is freely based on the story of Genesis, and is a frank, heartfelt and often humorous examination of the age-old conflict between parents and children. This fun musical for the entire family is free with lawn seating only so a blanket and beach chairs are recommended. The Kershaw Garden is located between the Mission Viejo Library and City Hall at 100 Civic Center in Mission Viejo. For more information please call 949-470-8440.
