Manatee Players Broadway Bootcamp Presents ONCE ON THIS ISLAND, 7/29-31
By: Kelsey Denette
Broadway Bootcamp is custom tailored to the older kids. This summer camp will be an intensive training in acting, technical theatre and performance preparation culminating in a stage production by the boot campers of ONCE ON THIS ISLAND, the Caribbean adaptation of ‘The Little Mermaid' by the creators of RAGTIME. Public performances are scheduled for July 29th at 7 p.m., July 30th at 2 & 7 p.m. and July 31st at 2 p.m. Tickets are $25 for adults and $11 for ages 12 and under.
ONCE ON THIS ISLAND, an enchanting musical fable, tells the story of forbidden love between people from two different worlds. Originally inspired by Hans Christian Anderson's THE LITTLE MERMAID, the Broadway show transports the story to a Caribbean island where social prejudice divides the island. Presented as a 'play within a play', a cast of village storytellers, attempting to calm a frightened young child, tell the romantic tale of a peasant girl who saves a rich city boy from death.
