‘Island’ time

The New Venture Theatre presents Once on this Island, a retelling of the classic tale of The Little Mermaid, brought to life with incredible theatrical tricks borrowed from Broadway. When a peasant girl named Ti Moune falls in love with a wealthy grand homme, Daniel, it threatens to tear both their families apart—but might ultimately unite the disparate sides of the island into a more harmonious whole. What happens to Ti Moune and her beloved Daniel, not even the gods can predict. Tickets are $25 at theparktheatre.com. The show runs through Nov. 13 at Independence Park Theatre.
