>From The Director:

Once on This Island is a DYNAMIC show and requires a DYNAMIC cast to pull it off properly. Therefore, EVERY PART is important and contributes to the success of the show. To help you, there will be a  workshop on January 9th at the Cleveland Heights Public Library from 9:30- 11:30 AM, that will give you an overview of the show, the cultures that inspired it, the elements that will help create the look and feel of the show, and some movement breakdown. This workshop is free and open to anyone in grades 1-12. The auditions will take place on the 11th and 12th with callbacks on the 13th.  I look forward to meeting and working with you. We are going to have big fun.

Grace, Love, and Peace,

Treva Offutt
