In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, a group of New York Broadway artists come down to New Orleans to make a change. Re-opening the doors of the storm-damaged St. Mark's Community Center, they hold auditions for the musical Once On This Island and stage the show with thirteen kids from the community.
After The Storm documents the story of a people and a city that is beginning to piece itself together. The theatre project provided the kids with a unique experience and gave them the kind of professional training that is not readily available in New Orleans. But more than that, it created the opportunity for them to share their point of view and their stories while focusing on something other than just their day-to-day survival and allowing them to grow as individuals and shine as performers.
