Once on This Island Jr. is a rousing, Calypso-flavored tale that follows one small girl who finds love in a world of prejudice. 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. This all-ages show will be live on stage at COCA in University City.
Friday, August 9 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $8-$12.
