Ariel, Flounder, Sebastian and more of your favorite underwater characters are taking the stage this week at Rosedell Elementary School in Saugus.
The Rosedell Drama club is hosting three public performances of The Little Mermaid Jr. Thursday and Friday at 6 p.m. and Saturday at 12 p.m.
The 2-hour musical is the culmination of months of preparation by dozens of 4th 5th and 6th graders who participate in an after school theater enrichment program.
“We know what it does for the children,” said Marian Urkank, director and producer. “I tell them even if you never get on another stage to sing, dance or act, you’re going to be in front of people giving speeches in high school, in college, and perhaps in your professional life.”
Tickets go on sale at Rosedell Elementary an hour before each show, which will be held in the school’s multi-purpose room. Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for kids. All of the money raised goes back into the Rosedell Drama Club program to purchase props and equipment such as microphones and lights.
