Staples Players Rewind: “Children Of Eden”

Our look back at Staples Players’ past shows continues today, with the fall 2005 production of “Children of Eden.”

David Roth and Kerry Roth directed the 1991 musical. Based on the Book of Genesis, it tells the stories of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, and Noah and the flood.

Longtime media teacher Jim Honeycutt created these “nutshells,” part of “06880”‘s continuing coverage of Players, yesterday and today.

He notes that some of actors in this show went on to bigger things.

Mia Gentile (Eve) starred on Broadway in “Kinky Boots.” She also made it onto “Good Morning America,” with hilarious Stanley Steemer ads.

Jacob Heimer (Adam) starred on Broadway in “Beautiful.” Adam Kaplan (Japheth) went on to star on Broadway too, in “A Bronx Tale.”

Drew Angus (Ham) is now a successful recording artist.

Now you can say, “I saw them ‘when.'”
