NDSU Musical Theatre Troupe Presents
Once On This Island
The NDSU Musical Theatre Troupe is proud
to present Songs and Selections from Once On This
Island, a delightful
musical fable inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's The
Little Mermaid.
Set on an island in the French Antilles
on the night of a violent tropical storm, a group of peasants have gathered.
A young child is terrified of the storm and the others try to sooth her
by acting out a fairy tale of star-crossed lovers.
The telling of the story spans the course of the night as the peasants
weave their tale in song and dance while exploring universal issues such
as love, anger, forgiveness, faith, maturity and death.
Led by Dr. Pamela Chabora, Songs the
Selections from Once On This Island runs one night only, Saturday,
December 8 at 7:30 pm in Askanase Auditorium. Admission is free!
