Join your favorite characters as they find new adventures under the sea. Cast members will combine acting, dancing and singing in this musical theatre experience. Dive into the wonderful world of theatre through the stories of the Little Mermaid and her friends. What kind of thing-a-ma-bobs will they find? Will King Triton banish his daughter or will the evil Sea Witch bargain with the Little Mermaid? Trouble can happen even in the depths of the sea, but we will sing and dance our way out of it and will most certainly live happily ever after.
This week will lend itself well to our experienced dancers as well as beginners. Dancers will be assigned roles based on level of experience and will be responsible for learning scripted rolls and choreography. There will be many lead roles as well as group sections for our novices who prefer safety in numbers. Dancers will also be asked to provide basic costuming needs from their closets. Shy about singing…no worries – it’s not a requirement! The week will conclude with Friday performances for family and friends.
Dancers will need to bring lunch as well as a healthy snack and drink( please no products with peanuts).
