Description

THE LITTLE MERMAID by Wayne Miller

Artistic and Musical Director Kimberly Charron, Producer Bill VanGorder, Stage Manager Patrick Charron

A delightful panto version of the beloved fairy tale, filled with laughs, music, and underwater adventure. Young mermaid, Ariel, wants nothing more than to live above the sea. When she falls in love with Prince Artemis after saving him from a shipwreck, the feeling is mutual. Guided by her faithful crabby friend, Shelly, Ariel seeks the help of jealous sea witch Ursula to live in the world above but Ursula tricks her, kidnapping her father, King Triton. Will Ariel get her voice back and live happily ever after or will her dreams be scuttled?

Prepare to be swept away to a world beneath the waves. Join Ariel and her friends of the sea in this family pantomime that will have you laughing, singing, and believing in the power of true love.

Starring: Olivia Trivett, KC Schwarz, Kyle Grace, Paige Devon, Felix Silver, Nina Aube and Jo Alarakhia.

Theatre Arts Guild

The Theatre Arts Guild is proud to be the country’s oldest community theatre with a record of continuous operation. The Guild was founded in 1931 (through a merger of the Little Theatre Movement and the Halifax Dramatic and Musical Club), and has presented entertainment each year since then.

“The Dover Road,” by A.A. Milne was the group’s first production in May of 1931, and was given at the Garrick Theatre (the present Neptune Theatre),  since the group did not have a permanent home. “Dover Road” was repeated for TAG’s 60th Anniversary in 1991.

Over the years, the Guild has had several homes and performed in many venues, including the Capitol Theatre, the former College Street School, and the gymnasium of HMCS Scotian and St. Patrick’s High School. In 1966 however, the Guild acquired a former church hall at 6 Parkhill Road and this property, renamed The Pond Playhouse, has been its home ever since.
