The Little Mermaid | Theater Production
Get ready for an exciting adventure! Give your child the opportunity to explore the amazing world of theatre. They'll learn the ins and outs of everything that goes on behind the scenes, from creating amazing costumes and props to bringing fantastic lighting effects to life. And when the time comes, they'll take center stage, dancing, singing, and becoming part of a talented team. Sounds amazing, right? Just remember that all participants need to commit to being there for every rehearsal during tech week and each scheduled performance. We understand that things come up, but try not to miss more than three scheduled rehearsals during the general rehearsal period. Let's make some magic happen together!
Join us this fall as we go under the sea with The Little Mermaid Jr. ®!
