ABOUT THE SHOWS:
> The Little Mermaid Jr. is a 60-minute musical 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.
​
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.
> Singing in the Rain Jr. is a 60-minute adaptation The "Greatest Movie Musical of All Time." It is faithfully and lovingly adapted by Broadway legends Betty Comden and Adolph Green, from their original award-winning screenplay in Singin' in the Rain JR. Hilarious situations, snappy dialogue and a hit-parade score of Hollywood standards make Singin' in the Rain JR. a guaranteed good time for performers and audience members alike.

"The stage offers a transformational gift. It enhances,
opens your mind, embraces and even dares you.
Every performer should have an opportunity to be
on the receiving end of that. The stage truly belongs to you!"
