Auditions for LITTLE MERMAID

From the story by Hans Christian Andersen
Adapted by R. Eugene Jackson
Music by Carl Alette
Anemone, an adventurous little mermaid, leaves her undersea realm for
a sixteenth birthday excursion to the surface. She hopes to find the
prince of her dreams, whose statue she has found. Accompanied by her
friend, Clem Clam, they begin their quest. But a jealous Sea-Witch
threatens Anemone. In fact, Rip-Tide and Zip-Tide, the witch's nasty
shark cohorts, terrorize all. The Sea-Witch magically conjures up a
storm which sinks a ship carrying the prince. Anemone dives into the
waves to save him, but not before she has been tricked into trading
her voice to the Sea-Witch. As he recovers from his ordeal, the prince
believes Georgina, who discovered him on the rocks, saved him. The
prince declares to all that she will be his wife... a fitting "thank
you." Meanwhile, the prince has befriended the voiceless Anemone while
Georgina, her heart belonging to another, resists the impending
marriage. Patience, love and friendship solve this delightful romantic
puzzle. The Sea-Witch is punished, and Anemone and the prince are
happily wed.
