The Y Arts Encore Teen Company will perform “Children of Eden JR” on Saturday, Aug. 14 at 1, 4 and 7 p.m. in the YMCA Gymnasium. Audience members are asked to wear a mask and the suggested donation is $5. 

From musical theatre greats, Stephen Schwartz and John Caird, comes a joyous and inspirational musical about parents, children and faith ... not to mention centuries of unresolved family business! 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."

The cast includes Abby Amaral, Paige Botts, Emma Castonia, Emme Harris, Ford Harris, Sarah Harris, Alana LaCourse, Phoebe Cook, Sophia Mansfield, Sofia Michaud, Anderson Pierpan, Spencer Pottle, Jojo Shea, Finn Sullivan, Trey Tibbetts, Anna Tomasello.
