All seven Charles County Public high schools have their shows scheduled for this Spring. Our family is a bunch of theater nerd, fun fact…my husband and I met through The Port Tobacco Players Theater over 17 years ago. I also met my lead craft editor Heather through PTP as well. Her husband is a theater teacher at St. Charles High School. As you can guess we are extremely excited about the hard work these students have put into the productions. It’s a great line up and sure to be entertaining. Come out to enjoy a show and support youth in the arts.
The first show to open this spring is St. Charles High Schools production of Once on This Island. Let start the spring musical season off with lots of support to the students who have worked so hard. Details to win tickets to Once on This Island at the bottom of the article.

“Ti Moune, a peasant girl, rescues a wealthy boy from the other side of the island, Daniel, with whom she falls in love. Unbeknownst to Ti Moune, the pompous gods who preside over the island make a bet with one another over which is stronger, love or death, the stakes being Ti Moune’s life. When she pursues Daniel, who has returned to his people, Ti Moune is shunned because of her lowly status.” Is love enough to bring the two together or will their divided cultures keep them apart?

TIPS
- Teachers with a badge get FREE admission. This is for employees only. DOES NOT include family members of employees.
- Many of these shows are family friendly. Keep in mind that every child is different, I recommend bringing children who have a developed attention span. Fall shows typically don’t have music and last about an hour and a half in length.
- Be prepared that if you see the last performance of the show there will be time spent at the end of the play to show appreciation to the director and production staff. This means after bows you might stay extra time to hear a speech or see flowers/gifts given out.
