Children of Eden

I've hinted at it, but I'm participating in another performance at my church, so here's the details if you would like to see me perform.

St George's Players is putting on a production of Children of Eden August 22 and 23 at 8:00 PM, and August 24 at 3:00 PM. Children of Eden is written by Stephen Schwartz, the writer of Godspell, so if you liked Godspell, you'll love this one. It's a rock opera style musical that tells the stories of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, and Noah and the Flood. While it does follow Bible stories, it's not preachy, the focus is more on family and personal relationships. God is more like the parent who loves their children and wishes they never had to grow up so they could stay innocent forever. It's a wonderful show, and there are many talented people participating in it. Just wait until you hear Eve sing!

Tickets for the show are $12 for Adults, 7.50 for children under 12 and seniors. You can reserve tickets by calling the church office at 301-262-3285. For directions to St Georges and information about it, you can also visit http://www.stgeo.org

I am in the show, I will be playing Cain in Act 1 and Japheth (one of Noah's sons) in Act 2. They are fun parts to play and you'll get to see acting and singing from me as well. If you're interested, I hope you'll stop by and catch a show, you won't be let down.

Godspell, August 24, 25, 26

My church, St. Georges Episcopal Church in Glenn Dale, MD is going to be putting on a production of the musical Godspell on August 24 at 8 PM, August 25 at 3 PM, and August 26 at 2 PM.

Tickets to each show are $10, there will also be a "Sweet and Savory" reception Friday Night from 6-8PM for an additional $6, $10 if you would like to have wine at the reception. There is a champagne brunch on Sunday from 12:30 - 2 PM, again, $6 for the brunch, $10 for brunch
with champagne.

St. Georges Episcopal Church is located where Greenbelt Road and Lanham Severn Road meet (MD 193 and MD 564), the street address is 7010 Glenn Dale Road. You can call them at 301-262-3285 to reserve tickets. I also have a few tickets that people can directly purchase, so drop me an E-mail if you'd like to get them that way.

For those of you who are not familiar with the show (I wasn't until the director asked about participating). Godspell is a telling of the Gospel of Matthew and focuses on the lessons and parables of Jesus Christ, with a fun twist on the presentation. Yeah, okay, it sounds like it's some clone of Jesus Christ Superstar, but they're not. I think that Jesus Christ Superstar represents the Catholic point of view on Jesus Christ, which is very focused on his eventual death and the lessons he teaches are put on the backburner. As for Godspell, the whole show is going through his teachings with the common stories we all hear about up until the end.

I hope those who read this in the DC and Baltimore area will come, it should be a fun show.
