Once on This Island

Once on This Island (Nov 12th - 23rd)

This is a highly original and theatrical Caribbean adaptation of the popular fairy tale The Little Mermaid. Once on a Caribbean island, a little girl is rescued from a disastrous storm by four gods—Asaka, Mother of the Earth; Agwé, god of Water; Erzulie, goddess of Love; and Papa Ge, demon of Death. So starts the myth told in this breathtaking story of joy, sorrow and the triumph of love against all forces. Told with Caribbean rhythms and instruments, this Tony Award-winning musical is a testament that a beautiful story simply told has the power to inspire and heal all.

Performed at Theatre Raleigh Arts Center, located at 6638 Old Wake Forest Road, Raleigh.
