Young Peoples Theatre Workshop presents Once On This Island, a musical retelling of The Little Mermaid.

When ONCE ON THIS ISLAND debuted in New York in 1990, both audience and critics raved. In The New York Times, Frank Rich raved that the lyrics were “simple, direct, and poignant,” and that the audience was likely to leave the theater “ready to dance down the street.” Young People’s Theatre Workshop will open this musical by Flaherty and Ahrens, composers of Seussical and Ragtime, on the mainstage of The Players Club of Swarthmore on May 27th. It features gifted young actors in grades 2 – 12, a live band and full scale sets and costumes. The performance dates are May 27, 28, 31, June 3 and 4 at 7:30 p.m., May 30 at 6:00 p.m. and May 29 and June 5 at 2:00 p.m. All tickets are $12.00 and all seats are reserved.
