Just Announced: Children of Eden
Play on Words Productions is thrilled to present a bold reimagining of Children of Eden. This production reframes the journey through the eyes of a child navigating an adult world. Surrounded by people burdened by expectation, uncertainty, and the challenges of growing up, the child invites them into a world of wonder, whimsy and imagination. Through this lens, Children of Eden becomes a story about belonging, community, chosen family, and rediscovering the spark that connects us to one another.
