DIRECTOR’S NOTE
As we began our work on Once On This Island back in 2015, it became impossible to ignore the ever-growing number of
disasters occurring around the world; from the unrelenting storms and earthquakes in Haiti, to the refugee crises at our
own border and around the world, Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and more recently the utter devastation suered in the
Bahamas, Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico. By the time you read this, there will undoubtedly be more to add to this heavy list.
It would seem no place or person is immune to the power and wrath of the gods.
While doing research in Port Au Prince, the creative team and I learned first-hand that Haiti is a country deeply rooted in both
faith and ritual. It became clear to us that we rebuild not only with hammer, nail and whatever materials are available, but
through the healing power of storytelling. After being invited to take part in a Voodoo ceremony and witnessing this incredible
religion firsthand, we realized how vital it was that this production honor the island’s beliefs and traditions as accurately and
respectfully as possible both in design and execution to create a responsible as well as magical evening of theatre.
Once On This Island is the story of how one seemingly insignificant girl becomes myth and legend for survivors of a wounded
and healing island and how the good we do can echo and reverberate long after our lives are over. It is my hope that the story
of Ti Moune might inspire any person, regardless of age, gender, race, ability, sexuality or circumstance to become catalyst
for change; that through how they give and share love, they might inspire the tearing down of walls and not the erecting of
them. I am so very proud of this company of artists and thrilled that they will be sharing this story with audiences around
this great and hopeful nation. Enjoy the show!
—Michael Arden, September 2019
