We are thrilled to announce auditions for our end-of-season spectacular!

Disney's The Little Mermaid is an adventurous love story about identity, community, and finding the strength of your inner voice. The tale revolves around Ariel, King Triton's youngest daughter who dreams of exploring the human world and falling in love.
