MS Theater presents "Once On This Island Jr."

From the dawn of time, mankind has gathered around to pass on traditions and history in the form of storytelling. One might wonder why we tell these stories, and USN Middle School thespians are ready to tell you as they share the beautiful story of "Once On This Island Jr."

In this Caribbean retelling of the classic, "The Little Mermaid," a young girl named Ti Moune goes on a journey set by the gods to see if love is stronger than death. Come join Ti Moune and all of the islanders as we find our reason to live, love, and dance.
