Children of Eden Cast and Practices
February 16, 2019
This year’s play is Children of Eden, a musical based on the stories of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, and Noah. It’s a stark contrast to any plays done before at Donoho being composed of almost fifty songs and essentially no talking. These characters are known in multiple cultures and religions and the story focuses on family relationships. Ashley Burrage, the director, hopes that the play “brings hope. Many of the songs in the show repeat this theme, and it is my hope that this play unifies us.” She feels that in “our country today we have many issues that divide us. The heart of this play is unity, and I hope it brings us together in a unique way.”
Practices run on Monday from 5 to 7 and Wednesdays from 3:30 to 5:00 to learn the music. The choreography is on Saturdays from 9 to 12. The students are working incredibly hard on probably the most complex play done at Donoho. Make sure to go see it! Below is the full cast list.
