Amid the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, it’s easy to get lost in the whirlwind of to-do lists, shopping, and endless parties. But what if you could press pause on the chaos and indulge in something truly magical? This December, the Florida Academy of Performing Arts (FAOPA) invites you to treat yourself—and perhaps a good friend—to an unforgettable experience with Children of Eden.

From the creators of Wicked and Les Misérables, Children of Eden is a powerful musical that explores timeless themes of family, love, and choices. With a sweeping story that spans the Creation to the Flood, this fresh take on biblical stories brings a touching and uplifting message perfect for the holiday season.

Presented by FAOPA’s Spotlight! Theatre group, this multigenerational, audition-only ensemble brings magic to the stage as children and adults unite to create a spectacular performance. Whether you’re a long-time theatre fan or new to the world of musicals, you’ll be amazed by the talent and passion that come alive in this show.

Performances run December 7–8 and December 12–15, so gather your friends or treat yourself to an evening of inspiration and joy. And who knows? Watching these talented performers might inspire you (or your kids) to audition for Spotlight! Theatre in the future!
