Little Theatre of Owatonna (LTO) is pleased to announce the opening of its summer production of “Once on This Island.”

‘Once on This Island’ is by Lynn Ahrens & Stephen Flaherty. The Artistic Director is Heather Burke, the Technical Director is Victoria Bartkowiak, the Music Director is Michael Burke and the Choreographer is Kyra Rahn.

Join us on a Calypso-filled journey of one small girl who finds love in the most unlikely of places. Her new-found love must be proved not only through the tests laid out by the pompous gods who preside over the island, but also by the trials and tribulations she must face as a lowly peasant. This Tony Award-winning musical is a highly original and theatrical mashup of the classic tale of “Romeo and Juliet,” and the well-loved tale of “The Little Mermaid.” It’s an exciting and energetic adventure for the whole family to enjoy. We hope you’ll join our little village and find out why we tell the story.

Performances will be at 7:30 p.m. on June 20, 21, 22, 27, 28, & 29 with matinee performances at 2 p.m. on June 23 and June 30. Online tickets will be available for members on June 1st; the general public on June 8th. The LTO Box Office opens June 17th. Adult ticket price is $17; student ticket price is $14.

“Once on This Island” is presented with special arrangements through Music Theatre International (MTI) and is sponsored by Federated Insurance.
