Fun and informal: You can sit and listen or participate as much as you want

We will read and listen to Once on this Island, led by Tyler Peaden. More information about the musical and table reads below.

About the Work

Ti Moune rescues a wealthy boy from the other side of the island and falls in love. When the island gods make a bet with one another over which is stronger, love or death, the stakes are Ti Moune's life.

From the Tony Award-winning songwriting team of Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Seussical, Ragtime), comes the Olivier Award-winning Once on This Island. This highly original and theatrical Caribbean adaptation of the popular fairy tale, The Little Mermaid, garnered eight Tony nominations for its Broadway run, including Best Musical, Book and Score.

About Table Reads

The Play Selection Advisory Committee of Athens Community Theatre hosts several opportunities to read plays and musicals for fun each season. Participation in a table read is a great way to “dip a toe in” to see what working with ACT is like. The play is read casually: you can let us know if you want to participate or just listen in. And you can change your mind at any time.
