About the Show
The Tony Award-winning musical Once on This Island is a vibrant, Caribbean-inspired production blending storytelling, movement, and music. Rooted in folklore and passed down through generations, this beloved tale invites audiences into a world that is joyful, poetic, and deeply human, reminding us of the power of the stories we carry with us.
Join Alumni Theater Company (ATC) in telling the story of Ti Moune, a fearless young girl who dares to cross the boundaries of class, culture, and even the gods themselves in pursuit of love. Guided by powerful forces and driven by an unshakable spirit, her journey unfolds into a moving story of
sacrifice, courage, and devotion against all odds.
Filled with warmth, wonder, and unforgetting music, this production features 30 members from ATC's Teen and Professional Ensembles and is directed by Monteze Freeland (recently seen in Primary Trust). Once on This Island is a celebration of storytelling itself and a reminder that any voice can shape a better world.

The world feels a little darker. The warning signs are harder to ignore. Shadows grow longer, whispers grow louder, and the line between reality and imagination begins to blur.
Before It's Too Late invites audiences into a thrilling and thought-provoking exploration of the unknown created by ATC's Young Artists and New Members. Through haunting spoken word, unsettling scenes, powerful dance, and chilling music, these young artists explore a world that feels all too familiar... As reality and imagination intertwine, audiences are challenged to consider what happens when the signs are ignored, and the clock keeps ticking.
Join us for an evening of powerful storytelling and captivating performances that will leave you wondering what comes next.
