Adapted from the celebrated Broadway musical, this rousing Calypso-flavored tale follows one small girl who finds love in a world of prejudice.

​With its poignant story and catchy Caribbean-flavored score, Once on This Island JR. is a highly original theatrical adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s popular fairy tale, The Little Mermaid, and the Tony-nominated Broadway musical by the legendary writing team, Ahrens and Flaherty.

​Through almost non-stop song and dance, this full-hearted musical tells the story of Ti Moune, a peasant girl who rescues and falls in love with Daniel, a wealthy boy from the other side of her island. When Daniel is returned to his people, the fantastical gods who rule the island guide Ti Moune on a quest that will test the strength of her love against the powerful forces of prejudice, hatred and even death.

Since our first production, Guys and Dolls, Jr. in 2014, Katherine L. Albiani Theatre Company has put on an after school musical every year.  In 2015-2016, we added a Musical Theatre class to our Visual and Performing Arts (VAPA) elective offerings and added a show that is cast and rehearsed almost entirely during our sixth period class.  Our program has grown so much, we are doing two Musical Theatre classes this year!  We're proud to present Aladdin Jr.  December 13-15, and Junie B. Jones Jr. May 9-11, 2019. Additionally, we offer our four middle school Puzzle Play, Shakespeare in the Quad: As You Like It on April 12, and two VAPA Nights on November 30 and May 3.

Pictures from our rehearsal and performance process will be available for purchase on SmugMug.  Stay tuned for a link.  (Links to past productions will be made available here as well.)
