Fall 2026, Grades 5-8
Registration for the Fall 2026 Middle School Musical (Grades 5-8), The Little Mermaid, Jr.. is now open! 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 acceptance. In a magical underwater kingdom, the young mermaid, Ariel, longs to leave her ocean home — and her fins — behind and live in the world above. But first, she'll have to defy her father, King Triton, make a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, and convince Prince Eric that she's the girl whose enchanting voice he's been seeking.
