Once on This Island!

My friend, Lisa Frost, is in the Lehi City Arts Council's production of "Once On This Island!"

A little peek into the plot: All the cast members are storytellers; storytellers who join together during an Island storm to calm a small child, and together enact the tale of TiMoune, a young girl rescued from a flood by gods who seem to have planned a special destiny for her. TiMoune is adopted by caring parents and raised in a peasant village which is socially separate from the rich city behind gates on the other side of the island. TiMoune grows into adulthood wishing for more in her life than the peasant life she knows and entreats the gods of Water, Earth, Love and Death to help her begin her destiny. The God of Water devises a plan by which she meets a boy from the wealthy caste forbidden to her," and the story begins...(synopsis taken from lyricsondemand.com)

Lisa will be playing Mama Euralie, the mother of the lead character. This has been a huge dream come true for her. Woo hoo! I'm proud of her for making her dream a reality and (Dang it! I'm getting teary eyed) I'm so excited to watch her perform.
