TMoTM: S05E02 — We Dance!

May 16, 2026   Programming

Now avail­able on Mixcloud

Orig­i­nal­ly broad­cast Sat­ur­day May 16th at 2pm SLT/Pacific -

Wel­come to The Mag­ic of The Musi­cal – on Vir­tu­al Com­mu­ni­ty Radio – where we explore the blend­ing of music and dra­ma fea­tur­ing the songs, his­to­ry and lore of the musi­cal the­ater with host Cale­do­nia Skytower.

Last sea­son we explored fairy tales on the musi­cal the­atre stage. In that episode we passed over one notable pro­duc­tion: “Once on this Island.”  Inspired in part by Hans Chris­t­ian Andersen’s “The Lit­tle Mer­maid” and based on Rosa Guy’s nov­el “My Love, My Love,” this unique one-act musi­cal by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Fla­her­ty is a Calyp­so-fla­vored fairy tale explor­ing themes of love, prej­u­dice, and hope. Be ready to dance!

First Sunday — May: Music for Beltane

May 3, 2026   Programming

At Vir­tu­al Com­mu­ni­ty Radio, we believe Sun­day after­noons are the per­fect time to treat your­self to some­thing spe­cial. That’s why we invite you to join us on the First Sun­day (usu­al­ly) after­noon of each month as we present a dif­fer­ent musi­cal treat: around an hour of music on a theme. It could be any­thing — new age music, orches­tral clas­sics, sound­tracks, or music cel­e­brat­ing a par­tic­u­lar culture.

It’s May Day week­end and the Celtic Fire Fes­ti­val of Beltane has just passed. Elrik Mer­lin presents an hour or so of music for Beltane — includ­ing, but not lim­it­ed to, Celtic-inspired pieces.

This pro­gramme will go out live at 2pm SLT/Pacific on Sun­day, May 3rd.

If you are in Sec­ond Life, why not enjoy the show in  scenic Ceil­i­u­radh Glen, cour­tesy of our spon­sor, Sean­chai Library — www.seanchailibrary.com, Nowhere­ville (194, 131, 22)
