The Genesis Story

THE WORLD-PREMIERE BIBLICAL MUSICAL COMES TO THE LIFEHOUSE STAGE!

After a slight delay, "The Genesis Story" will open this Saturday, February 24 at 7:00pm.

The incredible creation story comes to life as told by Seth, son of Adam and Eve. Despite angelic dissension and human fault and frailty, God declares victory over anything seeking to thwart His divine plan to redeem Man and His original creation. Though the account is at times bittersweet, the loving Creator provides a happy ending to an unbelievable saga of His majestic power and will.

“We are thrilled to continue presenting new biblical productions,” comments LifeHouse founder and president Wayne Scott. “’The Genesis Story’ conveys the first stories of the Bible in a fun and creative way. Audiences of all ages will delight in the toe-tapping songs and familiar story of Adam and Eve as well as Cain and Abel leading up to the time of Noah.”

"The Genesis Story" performances continue on weekends through March 24. Performances are Fridays at 7:00pm, Saturdays at 2:00pm and 7:00pm, and Sundays at 2:00pm. In addition to the weekend performances, there will be a special weekday performance on March 21 at 7:00pm.

You can order tickets by calling 909-335-3037 or online at boxoffice.lifehousetheater.com.

AUDITION FOR THE CAST OF DISNEY'S "MARY POPPINS" AT THE REDLANDS BOWL THIS SUMMER!

Audition dates are announced for the fully staged Broadway musical for this year's Redlands Bowl Summer Music Festival, Disney and Cameron Makintosh’s “Mary Poppins.” Producer-Director Wayne R. Scott has scheduled the open auditions for two upcoming Saturdays: March 9, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., and March 16, from 11 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The auditions will be held at Mission Gables, directly behind the Redlands Bowl on Eureka Street.

"The auditions will be conducted by appointment through a convenient reservation system," said Scott. “All roles are open at this time."

Appointments can be made online by clicking here.

Those auditioning are asked to upload a recent photo and a theatrical resume when making their audition appointment. Those without a theatrical resume can list any performing experience they may have had, though none is required to audition. Appointments can be made the day of auditions as space permits.

Scott emphasized that the first Saturday, March 9, will be devoted to those auditioning for principal or choral roles. The second Saturday, March 16, will be for select candidates who are called back and for those unable to audition on March 9. These auditions will be conducted by appointment throughout the morning.   

Those auditioning should be prepared to sing 16 measures of any familiar Broadway musical style song, preferably from Disney and Cameron Makintosh’s “Mary Poppins.”   They must bring their own sheet music in their key, and Scott will provide an accompanist. He will not consider electronic sound accompaniment, such as music tracks, and no a capella singing will be considered.   

The musical is currently scheduled to be performed with a live full orchestra and presented on Tuesday, July 23, (Public Dress Rehearsal) and Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings, July 25 through 28, at the Redlands Bowl. The performances begin at 8:00 PM each evening.

Disney and Cameron Makintosh’s “Mary Poppins" is the critically acclaimed Broadway smash hit musical based on the books by P.L. Travers and the classic 1964 Walt Disney film. The production delighted Broadway audiences for over 2,500 performances and received nominations for seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The beloved production features world famous songs by Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman, including “Chim Chim Cher-ee,” “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious,” “Jolly Holiday,” “A Spoonful of Sugar,” and “Feed the Birds,” among other hits that have been enjoyed by millions of fans throughout the world.
