Reading Community Players will stage Once on This Island JR, the youth‐adapted, Calypso‐infused musical that tells the story of Ti Moune, a brave
peasant girl whose love and courage challenge the island’s divisions. The junior edition preserves the heart of the original while tailoring the material and running
time for younger performers and family audiences. Performances are on June 26 and June 27 at Oley Valley High School.
Once on This Island Jr. is an accessible, one‐act adaptation of the Tony‐nominated Broadway musical by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty. Set on an unnamed island in the French Antilles, the story is framed as a tale told around a fire by island storytellers and follows Ti Moune as she rescues and falls in love with Daniel, a boy from the island’s wealthier side. The plot explores themes of llove, class, faith, and the power of storytelling, and asks whether love can truly conquer death. The JR. edition keeps the show’s Caribbean rhythms, colorful storytelling, and
ensemble movement, while streamlining some numbers for a shorter performance
