Photos: ONCE Opens At The LPAC This Week
By: Stephi Wild
Check out photos from the upcoming production of the multi-awarding musical Once, which will open at the Lauderhill Performing Arts Center (LPAC) on December 5th, and run through December 22nd.
Featuring an impressive ensemble of actor/musicians who play their own instruments onstage, Once tells the enchanting tale of a Dublin street musician who's about to give up on his dream when an intriguing young woman takes a sudden interest in his haunting love songs. As the chemistry between them grows, his music soars to powerful new heights, but their unlikely connection turns out to be deeper and more complex than your everyday romance.
The production will include a pre-show onstage bar atmosphere wherein the performers play a variety of traditional Irish and Czech tunes each night, and audience members will be invited to join them on stage with their drinks and interact with the musicians.
