In the beginning, Father created the heavens, the earth – and his children, Adam and Eve, who did not listen. Unwilling to resist temptation, they’re cast out of the garden of Eden. After many rebellious generations, their descendant Noah must save a chosen few from the flood when Father is Over It with most of mankind. Inspired by the Book of Genesis, this uplifting musical explores universal themes of family and forgiveness with hope and humor.
