This summer, Dogwood Dell transforms into a lush Caribbean island, where gods stir the skies, storms test the heart, and one brave girl sets out to change her world.
Once on This Island is a vibrant, heartfelt musical about love, loss, and the power of community, brought to life by a dedicated cast of Richmonders who’ve spent their summer rehearsing, connecting, and creating something truly special.
Our cast is made up of first-timers and seasoned performers, teachers and students, all volunteers continuing a Richmond tradition of free, outdoor theater at the Dell. It’s hard work, and it’s done with joy, commitment, and deep love for this community.
