The Little Mermaid (more or less) | August 1 @ 10:00 AM

Main Themes: Perseverance, adaptability, love

Genre: Fantasy

The lights rise on a beautiful sunset. A mermaid is silhouetted against an ocean backdrop. Hauntingly familiar music fills the air… Then the Lawyer shows up — and that’s when the fun really begins. The Little Mermaid (More or Less.) is the story of a theatre company attempting to stage a children’s version of the Hans Christian Anderson classic. The only problem? It looks and sounds an awful lot like a movie of the same name. That’s when the Lawyer for a certain “mouse-eared company” starts talking about a possible lawsuit for copyright infringement. Lawsuit? Copyright infringement? Throw out the costumes! There’s a bunch of old rags backstage from the 1970’s. Well, don’t just stand there! Go get them! Ditch the music! What did you say? Somebody’s mom has a greatest disco hits CD out in the car? That’ll be perfect! Change everyone’s names! Tartar Sauce! Little M.! The Crab Formerly Known As Sebastian! Everybody ready? Ok, action! It’s the funkiest version of The Little Mermaid ever seen on stage!
