The Virginia Samford Theatre’s award-winning arts literacy initiative, STARS (Students Take A Role at the Samford), presents Children of Eden, written by Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Godspell, Pippin). Designed for middle and high school student audiences, the STARS program features youth perfomers under the direction of Alabama Teacher of the Year and Troy University theatre professor, Roy Hudson.

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."
