Middle School Theatre Presents “THE LITTLE MERMAID JR.”

In the spring, Mrs. Hoffman’s 7th and 8th grade drama students made a splash with the production of “The Little Mermaid Jr.” The audience traveled fathoms below to an underwater world and enjoyed classic songs like “Part of Your World” and “Under the Sea.” The 60-minute adaptation also featured new songs, including Scuttle’s catchy tune, “Human Stuff,” and Prince Eric’s “One Step Closer.” In typical Academy fashion, the costuming, set design and choreography went above and beyond. Students from pre-K through 8th grade were treated to the production during school while family and friends filled the theatre for an evening show.

“The wonderful thing about a live theatre production that film and television simply cannot match is that the audience can experience in real time the ‘magic’ of the story created by the student actors.”

– Kelly Hoffman, Elementary School Drama Teacher
