Based on the story of Genesis, Children of Eden is a frank, heartfelt and often humorous examination of the age-old conflict between parents and children. Adam, Eve, Noah and the “Father” who created them deal with the headstrong, cataclysmic actions of their respective children. The show ultimately delivers a bittersweet but inspiring message: that “the hardest part of love… is letting go.”

A PGLT Production: January 9 to 24, 2015 at the Bowie Playhouse

Location: Prince George’s Little Theatre at the Bowie Playhouse

A good hearted, guileless child of nature is hauled before the magistrate on a charge of murder, having been found unconscious, nude, and clutching a gun, with her lover dead beside her. What is most shocking to the magistrate is the complete frankness with which she describes her life as a parlor maid and her affairs with both the dead chauffeur and her aristocratic employer. She is so ingenious that the magistrate, at the risk of his juridical neck, decides that she could not have committed the murder. “A bubbling, saucy comedy… A light, tasty soufflé” ~ N.Y. Times.

Auditions on Monday, September 8, Tuesday, September 9 at Bowie Playhouse (our performance space) in Bowie MD from 7:30 to 9:30 pm. Location: White Marsh Park on Rt. 3 in Bowie, MD – 16500 White Marsh Park, Bowie, MD 20715. Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script.
