On Friday, August 22nd, 2008, The Diaries of Adam and Eve opens for a weekend run at The Grove Theatre, located in Historic downtown Upland. Eve is portrayed by Becky Broyles, who recently portrayed Esther in Star of Persia At The Grove. Adam is played by Jeremy Lewis, who was recently seen At The Grove as Frankie in the popular Forever Plaid.

Originally broadcast on American Playhouse, this delightful adaptation of Mark Twain’s original story is set in a Victorian garden and is structured as a series of diary entries by Adam and Eve.  At first, Adam is puzzled by the new arrival in the garden and he is suspicious of her disturbing appetite for fruit. Eve, believing herself to be some sort of experiment, is curious about another experiment in the garden, perhaps some sort of reptile or possibly architecture. Eve gives names to everything, much to Adam’s annoyance. He tries to ignore her, so she seeks companionship among the animals particularly with a certain snake. Adam and Eve grow to love each other and, in the end, an elderly Adam is filled with a realization of that love as he stands at Eve’s grave.

There are only three performances. They are on Friday and Saturday night, the 22nd and 23rd at 7:29 pm and Sunday afternoon, the 24th at 2:00 pm.

All tickets are $15.00 and can be purchased by calling (909) 920-4343, or by visiting The Grove’s box office, or the website at http://www.grovetheatre.com.
