Niagara Regional Theatre Guild is presenting “Children of Eden,” at the Cardinal O’Hara Performing Arts Center in Cardinal O’Hara High School, 39 O’Hara Rd., Tonawanda through March 13.
This new musical, based on the first nine chapters of the Book of Genesis, covering the story of creation, the Garden of Eden and Noah’s Ark, has been winning over audiences since its 1991 opening in London.
Music and lyrics are written by Stephen Schwartz of Godspell and Wicked fame.
Various roles will be played by local actors from Niagara Falls such as Dan Schrack as Cain, Lee Stevens as Noah, Ed Western as Harm and Dawn Strassburg as a storyteller. Brittany Ziarnowski of Wheatfield will play Yonah and Laura Hayden of Grand Island will play a storyteller. Laura Bierbrauer of Grand Island will take part in the children’s choir.
Shows will continue Friday and Saturday and March 12 and 13. All shows will be at 7:30 p.m. and there will be a matinee performance at 3 p.m. on Sunday. This presentation is part of the theater group’s reduced admission presentation, where theater-goers can get a break by bringing a non-perishable food item for the Food Bank of Western New York. Tickets are $14 pre-sale, $17 general admission, $15 for seniors and students with ID and $10 for children 16 and under. Groups of over 15 people and school performances have special pricing. All tickets except pre-sale are available at the box office. Call 284-6358 for information, reservations and tickets or visit www.niagaratheatre.com.
The Niagara Regional Theatre Guild will also be offering a special dinner/theatre event, “Feast in the Garden” on March 12 with the dinner starting at 6 p.m. in the Cardinal O’Hara Campus Dining Facility and the show following at 7:30 p.m. in the theater in the Cardinal O’Hara Performing Arts Center.
