​
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.

Music. Dance. Acting. Set Design. Costume Design. All of this and more will be learned through participation in The Little Mermaid Jr.
Perfect for all ages, this is a fantastic experience, whether students have been acting for years or if this is their very first time!
The team who will be leading the camp has led student musicals and camps such as this for years. Their resume include shows such as Finding Nemo Jr, Elf Jr, Matilda The Musical Jr, Frozen Jr, Lion King Jr, My Son Pinocchio Jr, Alice in Wonderland Jr, and so many more. Last year, Wild Imaginings led a group of phenomenal students through Seussical Jr, and they are excited to tackle The Little Mermaid Jr this summer!
Auditions will be held in advance of the camp. It is at this time that students will be given their books and music to begin learning/memorizing prior to camp. That way, come June 8, we'll be able to dive right in!
At the end of camp, students will perform The Little Mermaid Jr on June 19th and 20th, giving them the experience of a full production weekend with multiple performances.
The Friday night performance will be at 6:30. Students will remain at camp and dinner will be provided prior to the performance. The Saturday performance will be a matinee, held at 2:30.
This will be an in-person camp, located at the Performing Arts Community Center (PACC) at 924 Austin Ave.
There are limited spots available, so don't hesitate to sign up!
There are also scholarships available, so be sure to reach out if cost is prohibitive.
