Leave it to Staples Players to produce “Romeo and Juliet” — with a Caribbean twist.
“Once on This Island”takes over Toquet Hall this Friday (8 p.m.) and Saturday (5 and 8 p.m.).
It’s an intriguing show — there’s catchy music, great dancing, dynamic characters, amazing costumes, and of course the age-old question: love or death?
Senior directors Kathryn Durkin and Greg Langstine had to work within the tight confines of Toquet Hall. It wasn’t easy squeezing a cast of 23 (and an 8-person pit orchestra) on a small stage, then making music and magic happen.
But they did it. Players always does it. Check out the sneak peek below:
(Tickets will be sold at Toquet Hall 30 minutes before each show.)
