The show was created by the songwriting team behind "Fiddler On The Roof" and "She Loves Me." It explores the relationship between men and women in three comedic vignettes.

"'The Diary of Adam & Eve' is a quirky, touching spin on the tale of the world's first couple," organizers note. "'The Lady or the Tiger' is a rock-and-roll fable that explores the fickleness of love, and 'Passionella' is based on Jules Feiffer's offbeat Cinderella story about a chimney sweep whose dreams of being a glamorous movie star nearly sabotage her one chance for true love."

The production will feature Maria Cunneely, Brennen Dopwell, Edwin Perez, Kaitlin Rust, Caitlyn Maranon, Ece Kucuk, Kayla Griffin, Kayla Pellot, Joshua Gonzales, Lindsey Giordano, Isabelle Flores and Jonique Stevenson.

Here are the performances:

Thursday, May 19 -- 7 p.m.
Friday, May 20 -- 7 p.m.
Saturday, May 21 -- 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Tickets are $8 for adults, and 5 for students and seniors -- and will be available at the door. Bergen Arts and Science Charter High School, 43 Maple Ave., in Hackensack.
