In this week's episode of "In Focus", host Eden Lane gives us an early look at ONCE ON THIS ISLAND: A CARIBBEAN FAIRY TALE MUSICAL at The Aurora Fox Theatre Company. This exclusive visit to rehearsal includes a conversation with Broadway veteran Candy Brown who serves as director and choreographer. Leading lady SuCh returns to the Fox where she made her acting debut just last season in THE COLOR PURPLE. She also won the Henry Award for that role. Click below to watch the interview!

The Aurora Fox will present Once On This Island (directed and choreographed by Candy Brown) from tonight, September 12 - October 5, 2014 at The Aurora Fox Arts Center (9900 East Colfax Avenue). Tickets are $28-$31 for adults, $24 for seniors and students, $14 for kids 12 and under. For tickets and/or group rates, call: 303-739-1970 or visit www.AuroraFox.org.

A high energy Caribbean fairy tale musical the whole family will enjoy. A young peasant girl (SuCh, the award-winning actress and R&B singer who played Celie in The Color Purple) rescues and falls in love with a rich boy (Carter Edward Smith) from the other side of the island. Guided by the gods of earth, water and love, the naïve girl finds herself torn between two very different worlds.? What is she willing to sacrifice in pursuit of a dream?
