‘Eden’ rehearsals begin

Submitted photo

Approximately 50 cast members attended a week of daily double rehearsals Aug. 20-24 for the Hood River Valley High School production of Stephen Schwartz’ musical, “Children of Eden,” directed by Mark Steighner and opening in November. Schwartz is the Tony Award-winning composer of “Wicked,” “Godspell” and “Pippin.” The HRV music department gave one of the first productions of the show 10 years ago to great acclaim and sold-out houses. The musical, which is based on the first chapters of Genesis, is a moving exploration of family, relationships, forgiveness and community.
