THERE ARE ONLY TWO DAYS LEFT TO SEE PORTHOUSE THEATRE'S PRODUCTION OF "ONCE ON 
THIS ISLAND."

On Saturday, June 29, Porthouse Theatre closes it's first production of this 
magical season!  ONCE ON THIS ISLAND is directed by Victoria Bussert and 
stars; Derrick Cobey* as Agwe, Yolanda Davis as Erzulie, Thomasina Gross as Ti 
Moune, Brian Johnson* (Jim in last season's BIG RIVER),  as Tonton Julian, 
Colleen Longshaw as Aska, Sierra Matthews as Little Ti Moune, Darrell Miller 
as Armand, Dominic Roberts as Daniel, Kristohper Thompson-Bolden as Papa Ge, 
and Angela Winborn* as Mama Euralie.  Performances are tonight Friday, June 28

ONCE ON THIS ISLAND is a calypso-flavored legend that tells the story of 
TiMoune, a poor peasant girl who falls in love with Daniel, an upper class 
boy, after she saves his life.  The gods of the island cause the lives of the 
young lovers to intersect and send TiMoune on a fateful journey that tests the 
strength of her love over prejudice and even death.

"This is a joyful musical experience that audiences won't want to miss."  
Kerry Klawson - The Akron Beacon Journal
