In the beginning, Father created the heavens, the earth – and his children, Adam and Eve, who did not listen. Unwilling to resist temptation, they’re cast out of the garden of Eden.

Inspired by the Book of Genesis, this uplifting musical explores universal themes of family and forgiveness with hope and humor.
