Ariel, a young mermaid princess played by senior <strong>Afton Rhodes-Lehman<\/strong>, dreams of the world above the sea and falls in love with a human, Prince Eric \u2014 played by senior <strong>Thaddeus Jackson <\/strong>\u2014 much to the dismay of her father, King Triton. She makes a deal with Ursula, a half-octopus sea witch played by community member <strong>Holly Hanks Wanta<\/strong>, and gives up her voice in exchange for a chance to become human and win Prince Eric\u2019s heart. But, she only has three days to find true love; if she fails in her quest, her soul will belong to Ursula.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/emu-wordpress-multisite-instance-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/03\/22151030\/20240319-Little-Mermaid-Promo-Photos-007-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56031\" style=\"width:469px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/emu-wordpress-multisite-instance-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/03\/22151030\/20240319-Little-Mermaid-Promo-Photos-007-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/emu-wordpress-multisite-instance-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/03\/22151030\/20240319-Little-Mermaid-Promo-Photos-007-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/emu-wordpress-multisite-instance-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/03\/22151030\/20240319-Little-Mermaid-Promo-Photos-007-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/emu-wordpress-multisite-instance-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/03\/22151030\/20240319-Little-Mermaid-Promo-Photos-007-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/emu-wordpress-multisite-instance-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/03\/22151030\/20240319-Little-Mermaid-Promo-Photos-007-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>EMU senior Afton Rhodes-Lehman as Ariel in EMU&#8217;s &#8220;The Little Mermaid.&#8221;<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s been an exciting new world to dive into,&#8221; said Rhodes-Lehman, who grew up wearing Ariel-themed bracelets and sketching pictures of the Disney princess in her notebooks. &#8220;I feel like every kid grows up with that one movie idol and for me it was Ariel. Although, this version of Ariel is deeper and more fleshed-out than the one in the movies.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The show is directed and produced by EMU Theatre Program Director <strong>Justin Poole<\/strong> with music direction from EMU faculty member <strong>Kyle Remnant<\/strong> and longtime collaborators <strong>Angie Clemens<\/strong> and <strong>Jim Clemens<\/strong>. It features a multigenerational cast and crew ranging in age from elementary through high school, as well as EMU students, staff, alumni and community members. Rounding out the artistic staff are EMU student <strong>Thomas Erickson<\/strong> (light operator), EMU faculty\/staff members <strong>Shannon Dove <\/strong>(tech director) and <strong>Rachel Herrick <\/strong>(costume designer), EMU alums <strong>Jareya Harder &#8217;22 <\/strong>(stage manager) and <strong>Robert Weaver &#8217;18 <\/strong>(lighting designer), guest sound technician <strong>Tom Carr <\/strong>and resident choreographer <strong>Ellie de Waal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The show features crowd-pleasing hits such as &#8220;Under the Sea,&#8221; &#8220;Part of Your World&#8221; and &#8220;Poor Unfortunate Souls,&#8221; and a number of new songs only found in the musical. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an immersive experience with a Broadway score that has a gravitas and beauty that surpasses what you find in both film adaptations,&#8221; said Poole, adding that there is plenty of interaction between the audience and cast. \u201cIt truly feels like a big Broadway production in terms of the musical and dance numbers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A painted backdrop behind the stage allows for cutouts and puppets to add another dimension to the story. The show opens with a group of children in front of the backdrop playing out scenes from &#8220;The Little Mermaid&#8221;<em> <\/em>with character puppets. As the overture music swells, the play comes to life on a stage that is transformed into an underwater world featuring sea creatures and three-fourths of the set made from recycled materials and found objects.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/emu-wordpress-multisite-instance-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/03\/22151852\/20240319-Little-Mermaid-Promo-Photos-013-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56037\" style=\"width:482px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/emu-wordpress-multisite-instance-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/03\/22151852\/20240319-Little-Mermaid-Promo-Photos-013-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/emu-wordpress-multisite-instance-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/03\/22151852\/20240319-Little-Mermaid-Promo-Photos-013-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/emu-wordpress-multisite-instance-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/03\/22151852\/20240319-Little-Mermaid-Promo-Photos-013-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/emu-wordpress-multisite-instance-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/03\/22151852\/20240319-Little-Mermaid-Promo-Photos-013-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/emu-wordpress-multisite-instance-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/03\/22151852\/20240319-Little-Mermaid-Promo-Photos-013-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>EMU seniors Hannah Landis, left, and Thaddeus Jackson during a rehearsal of EMU&#8217;s &#8220;The Little Mermaid.&#8221;<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>A treasure chest doubles as a sailing ship gliding across the stage on wheels.
