We Dance: Post-Katrina ONCE ON THIS ISLAND Documentary Now In Theaters
By Kathryn Harris on October 5, 2009
Among the many casualties of Hurricane Katrina was the 100 year old St. Mark's Community Center. But for writer and actor James Lecesne, losing a place of belonging and support-right when the people of New Orleans would need it the most-was unacceptable. Currently playing in New York, the film After The Storm documents how Lecesne set out to save St. Mark's with a student production of the Lynne Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty TONY nominated musical, ONCE ON THIS ISLAND. To learn more about this moving testament of theatre's capacity to heal, check out this New York Times review and this one in the Hollywood Reporter.
