The beginning of this season was no exception. To kick ojjf this year, we took a trip to the island of Haiti where the musical Once On This Island took place. The play tells afamiliar tale about a young girl torn apart from her love and sent on a journey by the Island Gods. The cast included many talented actors who dedicated endless hours to rehearsals. Not only did the actors work on memorizing lines and blocking, but they also had to concentrate on the music and choreography. Behind the hardworking actors were a slew of tireless technicians, who put the same amount of time and energy into the production as did the actors. The end product was more than successful. As Ms. McMahon enthusiastically stated, I was pleasantly surprised by the students' phenomenal abilities and the excellent i choreography.
