Children of Eden

CHAPEL HILL, NC – The University of North Carolina Pauper Players is proud to announce the spring production for 2009: Stephen Schwartz's Children of Eden. Show dates are Friday, April 24, through Monday, April 27 in the UNC Student Union Cabaret. Tickets are $7.00 for students and $12.00 for general admission.

With a book by John Caird and music by Stephen Schwartz ["Godspell" & "Wicked"], Children of Eden is loosely based on the Book of Genesis and tells the story from the Creation until right after the Flood. The show exams the age-old conflict between parents and children. Act I tells the story of Adam and Eve, Cain, and Abel, and Act II deals with Noah and the Flood. While using the Bible as a plot source, it freely deviates in many details, and is a story of parents and children without a specifically religious point-of-view. For ticket information, visit Pauper Players’ website at http://www.unc.edu/pauper.

For media concerns and complimentary press tickets, please contact Elissa Rumer at erumer@email.unc.edu.

UNC Pauper Players is UNC's premier musical theatre company. Founded in 1989, Pauper Players strives to bring professional-quality musical theatre to the UNC and surrounding communities at affordable prices.

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 have any questions please contact the producer, Elissa Rumer: erumer@email.unc.edu

New Ticket Policy

As some of you may have heard, the Carolina Union has changed their policy on student groups selling tickets to events.  They now require that all purchases be made through the Carolina Union Box Office located on the first floor of the Frank Porter Graham Student Union, outside the entrance to the Great Hall.  This also means that Pauper will have to indefinitely suspend all reserves for productions as of this Thursday for online reservations and Friday for pit reservations.  Any reservations placed before that will be honored.  After that cut off time, tickets will be available on a first-come-first-serve basis from the Carolina Box Office.  Good news is you can now pay with Visa, MasterCard, UNC OneCard, check, or cash!

COMPANY

Tickets are $7 for students and $12 for General Admission. Contact Producer Charlie Clark at clarkjc@email.unc.edu for more information regarding Company.
