Journey "under the sea" with Ariel and her aquatic friends in Disney's The Little Mermaid JR., adapted from Disney's Broadway production and the motion picture (featuring the enormously popular Academy Award-winning music and delightfully charming book and lyrics). Based on one of Hans Christian Andersen's most beloved stories, Disney's The Little Mermaid JR. is an enchanting look at the sacrifices we all make for love and acceptance.
In a magical underwater kingdom, the beautiful young mermaid, Ariel, longs to leave her ocean home — and her fins — behind and live in the world above. But first, she'll have to defy her father, King Triton, make a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, and convince the handsome Prince Eric that she's the girl whose enchanting voice he's been seeking.
Written to flow seamlessly between land and sea, Disney's The Little Mermaid JR. provides plenty of opportunities to bring these locations to life through creative movement and configurations. The fantasy of being underwater means your entire cast and crew can let their imaginations run wild.

Immerse yourself in the world of technical theater with our two-week Technical Theater Camp, running from 8AM to 4PM daily. This camp is designed for students aged 13-18 who are passionate about the behind-the-scenes magic of theater production. Participants will have the exciting opportunity to crew for our Summer Camp Production of The Little Mermaid JR. Throughout the camp, students will work closely with members of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IASTE) and other industry professionals. They will gain hands-on experience in various aspects of technical theater, including lighting, sound, set design, and stage management. This is a fantastic way to learn the skills and techniques to becoming a successful "techie."
Mahaffey Theater's Summer Camp is brought to you under the artistic direction of Nancy Sears and Sears Studio Performing Arts Academy. Sears Studio works to find the highest caliber of instructors to faciliate our summer camp in tandem with Bill Edwards Foundation for the Arts Education and Outreach Coordinator, Katrina Young.
