Once On This Island
Once on This Island is a Musical that tells the mythical story of Ti Moune, a peasant girl on a Caribbean island, who falls in love with a wealthy, light-skinned boy named Daniel. As their cultures divide them, Ti Moune undertakes a quest guided by the island's gods—Agwé, Erzulie, Asaka, and Papa Ge—who make a bet on whether love or death will triumph. The story offers a tale of love, loss, and the triumph of the human spirit against social barriers and fate.
The Battle Of Shallowford

The iconic story of the von Trapp family and the joy of music, courage, and love in the face of great change. A timeless classic to close our season in harmony.
