Don Strongman Presents A Rising Stars Production ‘Children of Eden JR.

Opening THIS Weekend, September 20-22

Purchase Tickets HERE

Children of Eden Jr. opens THIS Friday night at 7:00 p.m. Enjoy a wonderful youth production that brings to life the timeless story of creation through vibrant music and unforgettable characters. An abridged version of the 1991 musical, our incredibly talented all-youth cast bring an enormous amount of passion, energy, and life to the stage!

Highlights of the show include toe-tapping musical numbers by Stephen Schwartz - known for such iconic masterpieces as Wicked, Pippin, and Godspell. His soundtrack will draw you in with songs like "The Spark of Creation," "Lost in the Wilderness," and "Generations." Each piece showcases Schwartz's ability to craft memorable, emotionally resonant music.

The production explores themes of family, faith, free will, and the complex relationships between parents and children. It is family-friendly, however, please be advised that a scene portraying the onstage murder of Abel by Cain is included. While the depiction has been adjusted for young performers and is not graphic, audiences should be aware of this element of the story.

Jennifer Goldman, D.D.S. and Amy Thu Tran, D.D.S. Present ‘Puffs’

October 18-November 2

For seven years a certain boy wizard went to a certain Wizard School and conquered evil. This, however, is not his story. This is the story of the Puffs… who just happened to be there too. A tale for anyone who has never been destined to save the world.

Puffs (or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic), written by Matt Cox, offers a comedic and fresh take on a familiar magical world, retelling the story from the perspective of the underdog students in the "Puff" house at a certain wizarding school.
