Event

Children's Letters to God

Once online sales end, there will be 10 tickets available for purchase at the door on a first come, first served basis.

Sixteen tuneful songs and assorted scenes (some based on actual letters) explore timeless issues such as sibling rivalry, divorce, holidays, loss of a beloved pet, the trials of not being athletic and first love. This charming musical carries a universal message which crosses the boundaries of age, geography, and religion. As in the best-selling book, the musical is not specifically religious in nature. Its about kids and various events in their lives that lead them to ask a lot of questions some funny, some serious, some surprising. Whether posing a question, begging a favor, or expressing doubt or joy, the musical is notable for its refreshing directness, unexpected humor, and startling clarity of thought. It's like seeing the world through a child's bright eyes untouched by cynicism, eyes brimming with innocence, wonder, and curiosity.
