    Original title page from the 1611 King James Bible, by Corneilus Boel. The King James Bible in America Pilgrim, Prophet, President, Preacher John S. Tanner This paper was given on May 14, 2011, at Harris Manchester College at Oxford University as part of “The King James Bible Symposium: The People, the Lan- guage, the Effect,” cosponsored by Harris Manchester College and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in celebration of the 400th anniversary of the publication of the King James Bible in 1611. am honored to be invited to speak to you today about that book of books, I the King James Bible, in connection with the quatercentenary of its pub- lication. It is fitting to address this topic here in Oxford, a place that hosted a third of the translators. I have been asked to speak to the influence of the KJB on America, which forms a huge part of the story, for the KJB may have had an even greater impact across the Atlantic than it has had here on this “sceptred isle.”1 Ironically, although we declared our independence politi- cally from a king of England, for hundreds of years we remained deeply dependent on a Bible bearing the name of an English king. The magisterial KJB long reigned as the unrivaled monarch among Bible translations in America. In some respects, it does so still. Introduction: Like the Air Americans Breathe The great Harvard historian of American Puritanism, Perry Miller, once remarked that “the Old Testament is truly so omnipresent in the American culture of 1800 or 1820 that historians have as much difficulty taking cogni- zance of it as of the air people breathed.”2 This is precisely the problem posed BYU Studies 50, no.

Question: Do you advise High Schools to do this show? My high school has an excellent music department but it's stage direction and choreography leaves much to be desired. We did Bye Bye Birdie this past year and with a lack of direction, the only thing that held up the show was the music. So, with those points, and also with High School students trying to "find themselves" so to speak, let me know what you think yea or nay and if you have suggestions for a production in the high school environment, that would be very appreciated. Answer from Stephen Schwartz: CHILDREN OF EDEN is very often presented by high schools, and indeed, I have seen an excellent high school production (at a high school in Las Vegas). So the question is: is it advisable for YOUR high school? You can answer that far better than I. The most difficult thing about the show is the music requirements, and it sounds from your description as if that is your school's strong point.

Still, when John Caird and I began work on Children of Eden, it was with a certain amount of trepidation. After all, this was the Bible we were dealing with.

  • 2013 the Theatre in the Park Season Opens June 7; Family Musical “Children of Eden” Takes the Stage
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Please contact: Ruth Baum Bigus Publicist, Theatre in the Park (913) 707-7746 [email protected] 2013 The Theatre in the Park Season opens June 7; Family musical “Children of Eden” takes the stage It’s summer and what could be more fun than enjoying live theater and movies in a park under the star- lit sky? On June 7, the Theatre in the Park will open its 44th summer season with the family-friendly and colorful production of “Children of Eden,” with music by Stephen Schwartz (“Wicked,” “Godspell”). “Children of Eden” is freely based on the story of Genesis featuring the stories of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and Noah and the Flood. It is a frank, heartfelt and often humorous examination of the age-old conflict between parents and children. “Children of Eden,” directed by Kevin Bogan and choreography by Tiffany Powell, includes 61 adults, 12 children and a community choir of 90 voices—all are volunteers! The cast includes several from area schools as well as performers from all over the Greater Kansas City Metro area. A 44-piece orchestra under the direction of Kevin Hershberger performs the beautiful symphonic score. “Children of Eden” runs June 7-9 and June 13-15 at the Theatre in the Park. Curtain time for the production is 8:30 p.m. with gates opening at the Park theatre at 6:30 p.m. In addition to “Children of Eden,” Theatre in the Park offers four additional musicals including our first co-production. “Hairspray” will be staged in partnership with the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City with performances both on the Theatre in the Park stage and in the JCC’s White Theatre.

  • “It's Not Your Everyday High School Musical”
    “Children of Eden” “It’s Not Your Everyday High School Musical” NEWARK _ It was the “extraordinary” music that first made Steve Duprey want to direct Stephen Schwartz’s musical “Children of Eden” at Newark High School in 1999. But because of the com- plexity of the production, this show is quite an undertaking to produce. So Duprey, who directs shows at both NHS and DeSales High School, in addition to teaching communication courses at Finger Lakes Community Colleges’ satellites in Newark and Ge- neva, decided that year to wait until he had a little more time in his schedule to take on something that demand- ing. When his schedule freed up a year later, he directed “Children of Eden” at the Pennsylva- nia Yankee Theater Company in Penn Yan where it was very well received. This year he chose to do it at NHS and while producing the nearly three- hour-long show has been enormously chal- lenging for everyone involved it in, Duprey and NHS music teacher Jean Bendix, who is the vocal music director and co-producer for the show along with NHS instrumental teacher Dave Schwind, say it’s been a huge undertaking, but one worth doing. “It’s the most inspiring show I’ve ever worked on,’’ Bendix said during a brief re- hearsal break February 28. “It’s also the most music we’ve ever had to learn for a show. It’s double what we normally do. But it’s a wonderful show that I think everyone will like.’’ “This is not your average high school musical.
