The famed fairy tale by Hans Christen Andersen finally gets the Popcorn Hat treatment! The young princess falls in love with a handsome prince. The only problem? She is a mermaid, and he's not the best swimmer. The mermaid gives up everything she has – including her beautiful voice – for a chance to win the prince's heart. Can true love conquer all … even sea sickness?
Popcorn Hat Players Children's Theatre is Central PA's only professional children's theatre and has been entertaining audiences throughout the Susquehanna Valley since 1993. PHP performs a full season of children's mainstage plays at Gamut Classic Theatre, located on the 3rd floor of Strawberry Square in downtown Harrisburg. Created by the husband-and-wife team of Clark and Melissa Nicholson, this innovative and energetic troupe consists of seven full-time core company members and tours throughout the eastern United States, performing original comedies and teaching creative dramatics, reaching over 30,000 people each year.
Their goal is to provide live theatre to children and areas that do not normally have the opportunity to experience professional theatre and to spread a bit of laughter wherever they go! Audiences of all ages love their original scripts, quick wit, and improvisational comedy.
PHP and Harrisburg Shakespeare Company joined forces to become Gamut Theatre Group, Home of the Classic Story. You can learn more about this unique company at www.gamutplays.org.
