Who: Recommended for Ages 12 and Up

Islander is a charming little musical about an island girl who finds a mysterious stranger on the beach. This two-hander is never boring. It is touching and sweet and often funny. 

In addition to playing the two main characters, Kristy Findlay and Bethany Tennick do a fabulous job of slipping in and out of various other characters who inhabit the island. They have the most gorgeous accents, and they are lovely to listen to. Their singing voices, which are enhanced only by live-mixing, layering, and using loop technology, are equally as beautiful. Every song in the show sounds amazing.

The whole show only runs about an hour and a half without an intermission, but you'll definitely wish it was longer. You won't want to miss this gem of a show!
