Don’t miss this frank, heartfelt, and humorous examination of the age-old conflict between parents and children. Adam, Eve, Noah, and the “Father” who created them deal with the headstrong actions of their respective children. The show ultimately delivers the bittersweet but inspiring message that the hardest part of love ….. is letting go! Tickets are $10 ($8 for seniors or children age 12 and under). Visit www.strosedrama.com for online ticket sales. Tickets are also available at our Religious Ed Office (508.393.6444) or at Lowe’s Variety Store.
