Journey "under the sea" with Ariel and her aquatic friends in ACMS Fine Arts Department's spring production of Disney's The Little Mermaid JR., 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. See the graphic for ticket prices and show information! We hope to see you!
