Staged Reading Of Island In The Storm

Short clip from staged reading of my new musical:
Island in the Storm - a new Musical by Deborah Jeanne Weitzman
An inspiring variation of Romeo and Juliet meets Hadestown musical!
On the eve of a ferocious hurricane, two cultures clash - one connected to the earth, the other to wealth and power - forcing them to choose cooperation or conflict to save the island they love.
On a tropical island in a distant sea, two cultures - one protected and proud of the island and its beauty - and the other - only caring how the island feeds their wealth and power - live at odds with each other. Joanna and Claudio, an unlikely pair from these two different worlds, cross paths amid the growing chaos of climate change with stronger storms, rising sea levels and longer periods of drought.
Hit by a ferocious hurricane, the island’s residents must choose: violent conflict or cooperation. In the end, their survival depends on cooperating. Can they combine the wisdom of the ancestors with modern knowledge, overcome suspicions and challenge old ideas in time to save the island they all call home?
