Heights Youth Theatre presents "Once On This Island"
7:00 PM
Once On This Island, set in the French Antilles, is a magical tale about love, class struggles, faith, and transformation. As in any great story, there is an oath, a curse, a battle,a journey, and a colorful cast of characters that will steal your heart and chill your soul. Ti Moune is a young peasant girl who survives one storm only to be thrust into another. She must choose between the love she develops for Daniel, an upper class man, and an oath to the gods. What will she choose?
With a Caribbean music score, large-scale puppets, and movement styles ranging from Haitian, Afro-Cuban, West African, and Hip Hop, you will want to visit this island more than once!
The talented cast from age 7 to 18 hails from Cleveland and its surrounding suburbs.
