Based on one of Hans Christian Andersen's most beloved stories and the classic animated film, Disney's The Little Mermaid is a hauntingly beautiful love story for the ages. Ariel, King Triton's youngest daughter, wishes to pursue the human Prince Eric in the world above, bargaining with the evil sea witch Ursula to trade her tail for legs. But the bargain is not what it seems, and Ariel needs the help of her colorful friends: Flounder the fish, Scuttle the seagull and Sebastian the crab to restore order under the sea.
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
Dramatized by Joseph Robinette from the story by C.S. Lewis.
October 10-15 at Andrew Jackson State Park
This dramatization of C.S. Lewis' classic work faithfully recreates the magic and mystery of Aslan, the great lion, his struggle with the White Witch, and the adventures of four children who inadvertently wander from an old wardrobe into the exciting, never-to-be-forgotten Narnia. This story of love, faith, courage and giving, with its triumph of good over evil, is a true celebration of life.

A Christmas Carol
Dramatized by Jacqueline Goldfinger from the story by Charles Dickens
December 7-11 at USC-L’s Bundy Auditorium
This adaptation of the Christmas classic remains true to the original story by incorporating portions of the Dickens novella not usually seen on the stage or screen. Infused with a myriad of popular Christmas carols and a subtle twist of contemporary humor, the morality tale of Ebenezer Scrooge is once again alive with holiday spirit.

They and the people they meet in "Californy" will leave you grinnin’ like a possum eatin’ sweet taters!
