In the beginning, God created heaven and earth…then things got a little out of hand! The NAC English Theatre presents a thoughtful and provocative reimagining of the greatest story ever told.

It all starts when God sets the universe in motion. The story of Adam & Eve, Cain & Abel, Noah, and Moses follows, as the Old Testament comes alive through the madcap imagination of Peter Anderson – and the magic of last season’s nativity is brought to life once again.

Songs by Allen Cole provide the musical complements to the serpent’s temptation, the menagerie of animals boarding the Ark, and all the episodes of this modern “mystery play.” Not quite the King James Bible, but definitely entertaining!

A light-hearted musical comedy for ages 8 – 108!

Starring the NAC English Theatre Company: Rachelle Casseus, Mary-Colin Chisholm, Randi Helmers, Kris Joseph, Greg Kramer, Jamie Mac, Christian Murray, Tamara Podemski, Joey Tremblay, and Beverley Wolfe.

The creative team includes: Director Peter Hinton; Songs by Allen Cole; Set and Costume Designer Karyn McCallum; Lighting Designer Daniel McIlmoyl; Choreographer
Dayna Tekatch; Production Dramaturg Paula Danckert; Stage Manager Laurie Champagne; Apprentice Stage Manager Loreen Gibson.
