Children of Eden
Musical

Family Rating - G
Families with children
The death of Abel is portrayed

From Stephen Schwartz (Godspell and Pippin) and John Caird of Les Misérables comes a joyous and inspirational musical about parents, children and faith . . . not to mention centuries of unresolved family business! Freely 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." Children Of Eden appeals to both religious and non-religious audiences, and the melodic, energetic score is a mix of pop, folk, rock, reggae, gospel, Broadway and powerful choral moments with beautiful and moving solos.

No Sex Please, We're British
Farce

Family Rating - PG-13
Children over 13 with parents
language; NO nudity or sex

A young bride who lives above a bank with her husband who is the assistant manager of the bank, innocently sends off a mail order for some Scandinavian glassware. What comes is much less innocent, Scandinavian pornography. The plot revolves around what is to be done with the shady postcards, books, films and eventually call girls that threaten to engulf this happy couple. The matter is considerably complicated by the mother-in-law, the man's boss, a visiting bank inspector, a policeman and a muddled friend who does everything wrong in his reluctant efforts to set everything right, all of which works up to a hilarious ending. This farce ran in London over eight years and also delighted Broadway audiences. Note to parents: The play is rated PG-13 for language only. There is no nudity.

In this retelling of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic novel, Dr. Jekyll is introduced just as he is on the brink of discovering the key to man's inner self, his true duality. One evening he experiments on himself and finds that his formula works. Unfortunately, his true self turns out to be the monster Edward Hyde. Jekyll continues his research, spending more and more time as Hyde until Hyde is eventually able to take over and control Jekyll for limited periods of time. Jekyll's fiancée and friends slowly become aware of the dark changes in him but they are powerless to help. Jekyll finds it more and more difficult to keep Hyde at bay, and his initial delight about his discovery soon turns to despair. When Hyde brutally murders one of the young maids, he realizes his experiment has gone too far, and he struggles with the only possible course of action left to him.
