This is the story of Ti Moune, a peasant girl who rescues and falls in love with Daniel, a young man from a wealthy family.
When Daniel is returned to his people, the gods who rule the island guide Ti Moune on a quest to test the strength of her
love against the powerful forces of prejudice, hatred and death. Told in a presentational style reminiscent of story theatre, it is equally effective regardless of its cast size and features
minimal - though colorful - sets and costumes that capture the imagination of the audience. Creative dance or movement-driven
staging is also part of the show's style, calling upon performers to portray trees, wild animals and even a fierce rainstorm. With its touching story and catchy pop and Caribbean flavored score by songwriters of the film Anastasia and the Broadway
smash Ragtime, Once On This Island Junior is a multi-cultural feast for the heart, mind, and soul. Auditions will be held February 10th from 6-8pm at St. Marys. Auditions are open to any child 6-18 years old. You should come prepared
with at least 16 measures to sing (no pop music!) and bring a photo of yourself. An accompanist will be available.
Comfortable clothing is suggested in case a dance audition is requested. No experience is required, however resumes
are welcome! Tuition for the production is $160. This covers the licensing,
insurance, professional acting, dance and voice instruction, space and more. $100 is payable at the time of the audition.
The balance will be payable at the 1st rehearsal. If your child is not cast your uncashed check will be returned to
you within 5-7 business days. If you are unable to make the audition dates please contact CAPS at caps@nycap.rr.com to set up an audition by appointment (accompanist will not be available for appointment auditions).
