By Amanda Rosmann and Kate Sarner
Directed by Kate Sarner

To be or not to be– that is the question… that we’ve answered in this 60-minute, fast-paced, lovingly irreverent mashup of Shakepeare’s greatest deaths. Join the Gravediggers from Hamlet on their raucous journey through (almost) every death in the comeDIES, trageDIES, and histor…ies. Written by local playwrights Amanda Rossman and Kate Sarner, this play is an excellent introduction to the world and language of the great William Shakespeare.

Appropriate for ages 10 and up. Content may not be appropriate for younger audiences due to theatrical portrayals of physical violence and death, as portrayed in Shakespeare’s original works.

Disney’s THE LITTLE MERMAID @ Wendy Joy Lindsey Theater

Disney's THE LITTLE MERMAID @ Wendy Joy Lindsey Theater

Music by Alan Menken
Lyrics by Howard Ashman & Glenn Slater
Book by Doug Wright
Based on the Hans Christian Andersen story and the Disney film produced by Howard Ashman & John Musker and written & directed by John Musker and Ron Clements
Originally Produced by Disney Theatrical Productions

Directed by Kate Sarner

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.
