The AHS presents - The Little Mermaid

Join Annapolis High ‘Under the Sea’ This Spring

Want to escape the woes of day-to-day life and travel to an undersea realm? Come to Annapolis High School’s The Little Mermaid! Disney’s Broadway production originally opened in 2008 and was written by Doug Wright, with music by Alan Menken, and lyrics by Howard Ashman and Glenn Slater. Annapolis High School’s The Little Mermaid will run from April 5th to April 14th, with two full weekends of shows. The Little Mermaid will be an event of spectacular fun and enjoyment—you’ll definitely want to be “part of that world!”

This production is nothing short of extraordinary; the AHS Drama Company will be incorporating revolutionary elements into both the technical design and the performance. The majority of the cast will be signing in American Sign Language (ASL) for the entirety of the show, something that a high school has rarely attempted previously. The set design will incorporate reused materials such as plastic bottles to create an intricate acting space.

Actors from the company have been diligently working on the production since this past fall. Annapolis High School Drama Company has often taken risks with their shows in years past, but not anything quite like this production. Erin Lorenz, lead director of the company, expresses this, “I am so proud of the work our students are doing to create a unique retelling of a childhood classic.”

With the sheer dedication of the cast, crew, and directors, there is no question that this show will be remarkable. Sebastian the crab sums up Annapolis High’s The Little Mermaid perfectly; “Life under the sea is better.”
