A Note from the Directors

Welcome all to the bottom of the ocean! We are so excited to be directing Anchorless Productions and the Friendship Foundation’s The Little Mermaid! Under the sea there lives a princess named Ariel, who, with her fish buddy Flounder, goes exploring. She wants nothing more than to be a human, above the waves, and to finally make some friends! She goes to the evil sea witch Ursula, who offers her a trade: her voice, for a pair of legs. Ariel accepts the trade, but in order to keep her legs, she must make a human friend within 3 days. There is resistance to her going above the waves, but she braves it all. What will she find up there? You’ll have to watch to find out! This show explores themes of identity, friendship and sacrifice, as Ariel tries to find herself through the trials she endures. 

We’re so excited to start rehearsals with you all and to see each of our students and volunteers' talents in action! The catchy song and dance numbers mixed with the thrilling plot make for a great show. We hope you’ll join us as we go under the sea!
