Garden of Eden in Rancho?

BSL Park Map.JPGOnce upon a time, there was an idea of a theme park based on the Bible. It was never built and eventually the Epicenter and Victoria Gardens came instead.

Bible Storyland was slated for Rancho Cucamonga in 1960. It was the subject of a David Allen column in 2005. Now it's the subject of a documentary called "Bible Storyland."

A sneak peek of the film will be screened at 2 p.m. Aug. 28 at the Lewis Family Playhouse. A 1955 T-Bird convertible, owned by musician Bobby Troup, will be on display. Troup was best known for the song "Route 66."

Tickets are $7 and proceeds will go to the Rancho Cucamonga Community and Arts Foundation.

For tickets, call the Playhouse box office at 909-477-2752.
