The Fine Arts Association (FAA) invites families to spend the holidays with them for their production of Disney’s “The Little Mermaid.”  The production opens Thanksgiving weekend, Friday, November 24 and runs through December 17, with performances on Fridays at 7:30 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays at 2:00 p.m.

“Families will love this full-length musical version of the beloved Disney animated film,” says David Malinowski, FAA’s Roger and Anne Clapp director of performing arts.  “Attending performances at The Fine Arts Association during the holidays has become a beloved family tradition with lasting memories.”

For the few who are unfamiliar with the story, it is the enchanted tale of a young mermaid, Ariel who has fallen in love with the human world and one of its inhabitants, Prince Eric.  After striking a bargain with Ursula, the Sea Witch, Ariel can live her dream for a while, but at a precious price and with potentially dreadful consequences.   Flounder, Sebastian, Scuttle and all of Ariel’s loveable sea friends come alive in this magical production.

Sandy Kosovich Peck directs a talented cast including Haley Gagnon as Ariel, JJ Luster as Prince Eric, Emily Stack as Ursula, Jason Ferratus as King Tritan, Michael Richmond as Flounder, Kevin Terry as Sebastian and Cameron Zona as Scuttle.
