Behind the Scenes: The Little Mermaid, JR

Rehearsals are under way for Disney's The Little Mermaid, JR. The cast and creative team are hard at work getting this enchanted tale ready to open on June 24th! 

"We have been learning all the amazing songs, the dances, and getting to know each other a lot more, which has been great! I think this is the perfect show for audiences of all ages! Can’t wait to see you there!" -Sophie Farrell (Ariel)

New Plays are right around the corner!

This weekend we held a New Play Development Workshop for A DIFFERENT POND, premiering this Fall! The adaptation based on the book by Bao Phi, was commissioned by Stages Theatre Company in collaboration with Theater Mu. During this three-day workshop the director Jake Sullivan and Local Playwright & Director of New Play Development Jeannine Coulombe assembled youth and adult artists with Jessica Luu Pelletier (Playwright of A Different Pond) to continue the process of bringing this production to life. Thank you to everyone who participated and came to the final reading including Bao Phi, the author of the book!  Running Sept 30 – Oct 23, 2022.
