THE LITTLE MERMAID JR. to Play The Victory Center Theatre This Saturday

Disney's THE LITTLE MERMAID JR. is playing at The Victory Center Theatre on Saturday, July 30 at 5PM. The 60-minute musical, designed for middle-school aged performers, is based on the 2008 Broadway production and the 1989 animated feature film. The Conundrum Little Riddles cast contains approximately 16 students led by Kate Clarke and Emerson Boatwright.

"This program has been so exciting to put on for the first time in partnership with the Burbank Community YMCA," says director and Conundrum's Education Chair Kate Clarke. "The kids are having a lot of fun and experiencing the benefits of live theater. They're building their self-confidence, making friends, and learning skills such as empathy, teamwork, and critical thinking and problem solving. We can't wait to do this again next year and expand into regular Riddles programming during the school year."

This classic Disney title contains all of the songs from the Academy Award winning animated feature film as well as three new songs from the Broadway show. THE LITTLE MERMAID JR. takes place in a magical kingdom beneath the sea, where a beautiful young mermaid named Ariel longs to leave her ocean home to live in the world above. But first, she'll have to defy her father, the king of the sea, escape the clutches of an evil sea witch and convince a prince that she's the girl with the perfect voice.

Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at www.conundrumtheatreco.com. Concessions will be available for purchase at the venue.
