Home Made Theater's Youth Conservatory 

Program Presents The Little Mermaid, Jr.

 

The Youth Conservatory Program at Home Made Theater will present THE LITTLE
MERMAID, JR, with lyrics by Howard Ashman and Glenn Slater, music by Alan
Menken and book by Doug Wright at the Spa Little Theater on Friday, May 17th
at 7:30 pm, and Saturday, May 18th at 1:00 and 4:30pm.  This production is
presented by a cast of children and teens between the ages of 8 and 18.  In
a magical kingdom fathoms below, the beautiful young mermaid Ariel longs to
leave her ocean home to live in the world above.  First, she'll have to defy
her father King Triton, make a deal with the evil sea witch Ursula, and
convince Prince Eric that she's the girl with the enchanting voice.

THE LITTLE MERMAID, JR is directed by Laurie Larson, who has previously
directed the Youth Conservatory Productions of Guys and Dolls Jr., Annie
Jr., Thoroughly Modern Millie Jr., Beauty and the Beast Jr., Fiddler on the
Roof Jr., Seussical Jr., Aladdin Jr., and Home Made Theater's main stage
productions of 9 to 5: The Musical, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,
and Charlotte's Web.  She has a vocal performance degree and a minor in
theater and dance from Ithaca College, and education degree from SUNY
Potsdam, and a master's degree in theater from SUNY Albany.  She is active
in community theater and professional theaters as a performer and
choreographer.  In addition to HMT, Laurie has worked with local theaters
such as Schenectady Light Opera, Albany Civic and Park Playhouse.  She is
also the theater teacher and choral director at Ballston Spa High School.

The book for THE LITTLE MERMAID, JR. was written by Doug Wright, with music
Alan Menken and lyrics by Howard Ashman and Glenn Slater.  Production staff
for the HMT Youth Conservatory production includes scenic and lighting
designer Kevin Miller, sound designer Barry Streifert, costume designer
Linda Bertrand, properties designer Emma Fuhrmeister, and production stage
manager Susan Turner.
