INEVENTS THE ABBEY PLAYERS PRESENT ‘CHILDREN OF EDEN JR.’ The Abbey Players—St. Benedict the Abbot Church’s community theater group for students in grades 7 through 12—presented “Children of Eden Jr.” June 14 -15 in Pope Benedict Center. Based on the story of Genesis, the age-old conflict between parents and children takes the stage in this epic, heartfelt Stephen Schwartz musical that is perfect for all ages. The beautiful music truly brings to life the story of Adam and Eve and the garden of Eden in Act I, followed by the story of Noah and the flood in Act II. The show featured students in 7th through 12th grade from Peters Township and Canon-Mac, as well as a children’s chorus of students in grades 1 through 6. A gift card raffle and concessions were available, and proceeds benefited St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
