Alfred State will present “Once on This Island” at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 20-22, with a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday, Nov. 23, at the Cappadonia Auditorium on the Alfred campus.

"Once on This Island" tells the tale of a poor peasant girl's journey to win the heart of wealthy young man with the aid of gods who watch over the island. The music is jam-packed with Caribbean flavor and upbeat energy.

“There is a lot of music and choreography in this musical and it is coming together well,” said Janna Buckwalter, Drama Club adviser. “We have a great student cast and technical crew who are working hard and I am excited for the show.”

The performance is composed of an all-Alfred State-student cast under the direction of Buckwalter and Eric Prentice, music director, with Jerry Ives, Alfred State's instrumental director, leading the pit orchestra.

Tickets are $7 for general admission and $2 for students and can be pre-purchased at the Alfred State bookstore or at 607-587-4020. Credit cards are accepted and tickets will also be available at the door.
