On Monday, June 18, 2007, After the Storm – a non-profit film and theatre project that uses the power of art to raise and distribute money, increase awareness and revitalize the lives of children in the New Orleans community – will present two performances of a very special production of the award-winning musical ONCE ON THIS ISLAND.

Starring students and young artists from the New Orleans area, these two benefit performances are scheduled for 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. at Playwrights Horizons Theatre (416 West 42nd Street). Playwrights Horizons is the theater where ONCE ON THIS ISLAND first premiered in 1990.

After the Storm is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit foundation dedicated to helping youth and local organizations working with youth that have been affected by environmental and economic disaster in America. Starting in New Orleans and expanding nationwide, After the Storm offers assistance and support by collecting and channeling donated funds back into the community and underwriting projects and relief organizations devoted to the community’s youth. The first step in After the Storm’s creation was the formation of a life-to-life link between the New York theater and film community and New Orleans. With book and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens and music by Stephen Flaherty, ONCE ON THIS ISLAND is a highly acclaimed Broadway adaptation of the popular fairy tale The Little Mermaid. The musical weaves the story of a black peasant girl on a mythical Caribbean island who survives a hurricane and then must discover her purpose in life. The unpredictable “gods” who rule the island decide to guide the girl on a quest, and to test the strength of her love against the powerful forces of prejudice, nature, hatred and finally, death. It is a perfect parallel with the story of New Orleans and Hurricane Katrina.
