Featured Upcoming Event
Children of Eden
October 3, 2026 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm
We are excited to announce our official partnership with UPAC on the upcoming performances of Children of Eden! Underground Performing Arts Collective (UPAC), Suffolk Center for Cultural Arts, and The Church of the Good Shepherd present: Children of Eden, the epic and heartfelt musical from Stephen Schwartz and John Caird. Based on the story of Genesis, Children of Eden follows Adam, Eve, Noah, and the Father who created them through a moving story of love, loss, change, and the difficult act of letting go. (And they’ll be using the animal puppets we created together at Camp Imagine in the show!) With sweeping music and emotional storytelling, this all-ages production brings a powerful theatrical experience to the Birdsong Theater.
While they have three different showings available, we invite you to join Good Shepherd on Saturday, October 3, 2026, for the 2 PM performance.
Doors Open: 30 minutes before showtime
Location: Birdsong Theater
All Ages Welcomed
