Spend a night “under the sea,” and support a local children’s theater group while doing so!
The Brick Community Children’s Theater will present “The Little Mermaid” on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Based on one of Hans Christian Andersen’s most beloved stories and the classic animated film, Disney’s The Little Mermaid is an inspiring and fun-filled story for all ages. In a magical kingdom beneath the sea, the beautiful young mermaid Ariel, King Triton’s youngest daughter, longs to leave her ocean home to live in the world above. Ariel wishes to pursue the human Prince Eric and bargains with the evil sea witch, Ursula, to trade her tail for legs. But the bargain is not what it seems and Ariel needs the help of her colorful friends Flounder the fish, Sebastian the crab and Scuttle the seagull to restore order under the sea.
