Once On This Island

OTC presents Once on This Island from March 28 to April 13, bringing the captivating Caribbean retelling of The Little Mermaid to the Brooks Theater stage (217 N Coast Hwy, Oceanside, CA). Based on the 1985 novel My Love, My Love; or, The Peasant Girl, this celebrated musical follows Ti Moune, a peasant girl who rescues and falls in love with Daniel, a boy from the wealthier side of the island. With its poignant themes of love, self-discovery, and bravery, Once on This Island celebrates resilience and the transformative power of storytelling. This vibrant production invites audiences to immerse themselves in its rich cultural roots and unforgettable tale.

Manny and The Wise Queens

OTC presents the first full staging of “Manny and the Wise Queens” by Idris Goodwin December 6 to December 22, introducing audiences to the small town of Bethlehem, U.SA., where a bright star draws distant visitors to usher in a new era one December night in 2020. The gift-bearing travelers find themselves in the attic of Manny, a depressed recent high school graduate, who has locked himself away to escape the remnants of holiday cheer in his quarantined town. Luckily, the sudden arrival of the two wise queens provides a potential key to Manny’s deliverance in this comedic celebration of home, hip-hop and unexpected gifts. DECEMBER 6-22

Shuddersome: Tales of Poe at Theatre School @ North Coast Rep

The Theatre School @ North Coast Rep presents five eerie and macabre Edgar Allen Poe short stories and poems as, Shuddersome: Tales of Poe for its next student production! The thumping of a heartbeat. The creak of a door. The howl of a bitter wind. The gong of a clock tower. The clang of alarm bells. The sound of beating wings getting closer and closer… Specters, ghosts, and ghouls come alive in this vivid theatrical adaptation of some of Edgar Allan Poe’s best-known works. Included are The Tell-Tale Heart, The Bells, The Oval Portrait, The Raven, and The Masque of the Red Death. Poe’s words rise from the page like corpses from the grave. Be careful. Do you hear that tap, tap, tapping?

 

Director Benjamin Cole is eager to share the talents of his student cast. “We have a relatively young cast that is really stepping up in this ensemble-based show,” Cole exclaims. “All of the actors are on stage the entire time and work together to bring Poe’s enigmatic words to life,” he insists. Assistant Director Steve Smith adds, “It’s perfect to get you in the mood for Halloween. Plenty of creepy moments mixed with celebrations of Poe’s crafty poetry.” The show runs a swift 50 minutes with no intermission and hopes to spook audiences throughout. Additional production staff includes Sound Designer, Marilynn Do; Stage Manager, Paul Smith; and Lighting Designer, Liam Sullivan.
