The Overlake School presents its All-School Musical 2012, “Children of Eden,” at 7:30 p.m., March 2; and 2:30 and 7:30 p.m., March 3, in Fulton Performing Arts Center, 20301 NE 108th St., Redmond.
With music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz of “Wicked,” “Godspell” and “Pippin” fame, the book by John Caird is loosely based on the first nine chapters of “Genesis.” It tells a story, as old as mankind, about human nature, love, families and the relationship between parents and children.
The production involves 60 student singers and dancers in fifth through 12th grades. In preparation, students explored creation myths and flood stories from many world cultures, and those traditions inspired the costumes and choreography. For tickets and more information, visit www.overlakearts.com
