Emily Stewart as Ariel and Joshua Gartin as Prince Eric in Story Theater Company’s production of The Little Mermaid Jr.
Journey “under the sea” with Ariel and her aquatic friends in “Disney’s The Little Mermaid Jr”, adapted from Disney’s 2008 Broadway production. In a magical underwater kingdom, the beautiful young mermaid Ariel longs to leave her ocean home – and her fins – behind and live in the world above. But first she’ll have to defy her father King Triton, make a deal with the evil sea witch Ursula, and convince the handsome Prince Eric that she’s the girl whose enchanting voice he’s been seeking.
