Everyone is familiar with the story of The Little Mermaid, but not everyone knows this particular version. Once on this Island, an adaptation of the traditional fairy tale, takes us on a journey to an island on which "two different worlds" exist - two very separate classes that do not mix. Can those lines be crossed? Can love, in fact, conquer all?

Catawba College's Theatre Department invites you to come hear the captivating story based on a novel by Rosa Guy with a beautiful score by the Tony Award-winning team of Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty.
