From Stephen Schwartz ("Godspell" and "Pippin") and John Caird of "Les Miserables" 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."

If you thought you knew the story of "The Princess and The Pea," you may be in for a walloping surprise! Did you know, for instance, that Princess Winnifred actually swam the moat to reach Prince Dauntless the Drab? Or that it may not have been the pea at all that caused the princess a sleepless night? Carried on a wave of beguiling songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the familiar classic of royal courtship and comeuppance provides for some side-splitting shenanigans. Chances are, you'll never look at fairy tales quite the same way again. In this adaptation for pre-high school students, the content has been edited to better suit younger actors and audiences, but all the magic, hilarity and fun of the original are still in place.

The lush and lively jungle comes alive on the JCC stage in this exciting adaptation of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, an epic story of Mowgli, the jungle boy, who is raised by wolves. In this enchanting tale of tails, Mowgli finds himself captured by the monkeys and taken to the abandoned city where all the jungle animals come to his rescue. He then is hunted by Shere Khan, the ferocious tiger, where a battle ensues. Finally, Mowgli must make the choice of becoming a man or staying a cub.

This classic adventure has specifically been created for the JCC and is filled with numerous characters, both big and small, and is sure to entice audiences of all ages! The Jungle Book performances are in the Community Hall Stage. Box Office opens at 6pm (tickets only sold at door) and seating is a first come first served basis. Concessions will be sold.
