You can meet Ariel the little mermaid Sunday afternoon, April 7th at Freedom Middle School Theatre and support the Star Bright Players. The Star Bright Players Children’s Theatre Group hosts at 3 p.m. and children can meet and interact with Ariel, Sebastian, Flounder and other favorite characters for the upcoming production of “The Little Mermaid, Jr.”
The “Afternoon with Ariel and Friends” includes meeting the characters, refreshments with the cast, a special theatrical revue of “Under the Sea” and a keepsake photo of each child with Ariel. Parents can bring their own cameras to take photos with other costumed characters. This event is $10 per child, and reservations can be made by calling the Franklin Recreation Complex at (615) 790-5719, ext. 2010. Space is limited.
The cast will also present a special performance of “What’s It Like to be A Mermaid” from the Disney CD “The Little Mermaid-Songs from the Sea.” The song was composed by local songwriter, performer and Grammy-nominee Diana Rae. Her songs have been recorded by artists including Reba McEntire, Dolly Parton and Aaron Neville. Rae has served as a vocal coach for several Star Bright performers, and has long supported the program. She says, “I’m thrilled to be a part of this festive fundraiser for the Star Bright Players and I am looking forward to hearing Star Bright’s Ariel singing my ‘Little Mermaid’ song. Our community continues to be blessed with this exceptional entertainment group that provides our youth with such great performance opportunities!”
The Star Bright Players Children’s Theatre group is sponsored by the Williamson County Parks and Recreation Department. Disney’s “The Little Mermaid, Jr.” will be presented April 18-21 at the Freedom Middle School Theatre, 750 Highway 96 West in Franklin. Advance tickets can be purchased at the Franklin Recreation Complex for $6 per person, with children 3 and younger free if sitting with a parent.
