CFCArts Youth Theatre Troupe Presents Disney's THE LITTLE MERMAID

Central Florida Community Arts Youth Theatre Troupe is proud to present the family-friendly musical, Disney's The Little Mermaid, April 27 at 7 p.m & April 28 at 2 p.m and 7 p.m. Performances will be held at Cornerstone Charter Academy, located at 5903 Randolph Ave, Orlando, FL 32809.

Originally produced by Disney Theatrical Productions, Disney's The Little Mermaid is a story loved by all ages. In a magical kingdom "under the sea," an adventurous young mermaid longs to leave her ocean home and follow her heart to the human world above - and into the arms of a handsome prince.

"Disney's The Little Mermaid is sometimes interpreted as a story about giving up who you are to fit in," says director Leah Porrata. "Our production interprets the story in a different way. This is a story about leaving your fears behind to become who you are truly meant to be."

Watch classic, hilarious, villainous, and heroic characters such as Ariel, Ursula, Sebastian, and Flounder come to life through members of the CFCArts Youth Theatre Troupe. The talented 36-member cast, comprised of third- through 12th-graders, will zoom by on in-line skates, wheeled Heelys sneakers, and even a unicycle while delivering show-stopping song and dance routines. Featuring colorful worlds and a rainbow of costumes Disney's The Little Mermaid is sure to make audience members laugh out loud, tug on their heart-strings, and put them on the edge of their seats.

Prior to the 2 p.m. matinee, Central Florida Community Arts will be hosting a one-hour Under The Sea Tea Party starting at 12:30 p.m. Guests can meet with Ariel, Prince, Eric, Flounder, and other favorite characters while enjoying deep-sea themed refreshments. This separately-ticketed event features mermaid-themed coloring and crafting, face-painting artists, and a photo booth with festive backdrops, props, or the characters themselves.

Tickets start at $10 for ages 13 and older, $5 for children ages 4-12, and are free for ages 3 and under. Tickets to the Under the Sea Tea Party are $5 per child. Disney's The Little Mermaid is recommended for all ages. Tickets are available online at CFCArts.com/Mermaid or by calling the box office at 407-937-1800 Ext. 710.
