Once On This Island


Directed by Rikki Howie Lacewell

Once on This Island is a powerful, Caribbean-inspired musical about the unbreakable human spirit and the transformative power of love. Told through dynamic storytelling, vibrant music, and electrifying dance. This is a tale of love and legacy. Of risk and resilience. Of the ways we remember — and are remembered.
