Children of Eden is the story of the creation as told through the eyes of our narrators, The Storytellers. It tells of Adam and Eve and their relationship with Father (God) and their ultimate expulsion from the Garden of Eden. The story continues through the births of Cain and Abel and that historic battle. The second act takes place generations later with Noah and his family, and their challenges in building the Ark and obeying Father’s will.

The music and lyrics are written by Stephen Schwartz. Famed composer/lyricist of Godspell, Pippin, Wicked, Working, and Rags.
Book by John Caird
Based on a concept by Charles Lisanby

Produced by 2nd Star Productions
Directed/Choreographed by Vincent Musgrave
Music Direction by Joe Biddle

Please come prepared with 32 bars of music in the style of the show, that best shows your vocal range. A song with a story would be optimal. Looking for how well the story is told and acted.

Audition Workshop by 2nd Star at All Saints Lutheran Church, June 14 at 2pm

FREE Audition Workshop
Saturday June 14, 2014 at 2pm

2nd Star Productions

In advance of auditions for our upcoming production of Children of Eden, 2nd Star will be holding a free audition workshop on Saturday, June 14th. The workshop will go from 2 to 4 p.m. and will be at All Saints Lutheran Church, address 16510 Mt Oak Rd, Bowie, MD 20716. During the first section of the workshop, participants will learn basics of singing auditions including vocal and performance techniques. The second part of the workshop will cover dance and movement for musical theater auditions. Participants will learn some basic dance steps and a short routine, and discuss which elements of the routine and movement are most important during a dance audition.

Come prepared to move and, if possible, bring a 32 bar section of audition music to practice. Note that this workshop is not a requirement for Children of Eden auditions nor is it limited to only people who intend to audition for the show. It is a more general audition preparation workshop, but would also be good practice for those coming out for Children of Eden. Please e-mail 2ndStarBowie@gmail.com with any questions.
