Blackhawk Middle School Tickets: $12 plus ticketing/credit card fees In a magical kingdom beneath the sea, the beautiful young mermaid, Ariel, longs to leave her ocean home to live in the world above.
Based on one of Hans Christian Andersen's most beloved stories and the classic animated film, Disney's The Little Mermaid is a hauntingly beautiful love story for the ages. With music by eight-time Academy Award winner, Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman and Glenn Slater and a compelling book by Doug Wright, this fishy fable will capture your heart with its irresistible songs, including "Under the Sea," "Kiss the Girl" and "Part of Your World." Ariel, King Triton's youngest daughter, wishes to pursue the human Prince Eric in the world above, bargaining with the evil sea witch, Ursula, to trade her tail for legs. But the bargain is not what it seems, and Ariel needs the help of her colorful friends, Flounder the fish, Scuttle the seagull and Sebastian the crab to restore order under the sea. |

About Main Stage Programming
Auditions are open to children in 5th to 8th grade who live in Elmhurst or attend Elmhurst schools.
Elmhurst Children's Theatre is an audition-based program. Not all children who audition will be cast.
ECT's sets, costumes, props and marketing are done completely by parent volunteers. As an all volunteer-run organization, our productions cannot happen without parent involvement. Therefore, one parent of each cast member is required to participate on a committee. For the safety of all involved, children who are not part of the cast (including siblings) may not attend rehearsals or accompany parents during volunteer activities. Volunteering with ECT is a fun way for parents to be a part of the production, and most parents find it very rewarding to see how hard the kids work and how passionate they are about the productions.
