In a magical underwater kingdom, the beautiful 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 the handsome Prince Eric that she's the girl whose enchanting voice he's been seeking.

 

The Little Mermaid Jr. rehearsals take place at The Ruth Page Center for the Arts on Wednesdays from 4:15pm - 5:45pm, following the Chicago Public Schools schedule.

The entire live musical will be taught to your young actor and performed at Ruth Page Center for the Arts on May 15-16-17, 2026. 1026 North Dearborn Chicago.
