The Little Mermaid- Pandemonium Theatre Group

     Pandemonium Theater Group proudly presents their production of The Little Mermaid as written by Wayne R. Scott and produced with Special Arrangements with LifeHouse Productions, Inc. based on the ever popular and classical story of Hans Christian Andersen.
 
     This delightful musical will take your on an adventure from the palace of King Triton beneath the sea to the palace of Prince William on the beautiful shore from the hidden cave full of human things of Angelica to the dark and mysterious liar of the evil Sea Witch Octavia. 
 
     The fun-loving, adventurous Angelica has turned 16 and is being granted permission by her over protective father to venture to the surface to look above her ocean world to the mysterious and enchanted world of humans. It is only with great concern and much concern of her father, sisters, and her community of merfolk that she ascends into the unknown to find a whole new world of excitement and even love. 
    
     During her visit to the surface, Angelica comes alongside Prince Williams’ ship and becomes even more intrigued to learn more about the human world. However, Octavia has a different plan, a plan of destruction for the voyagers. The ship is destroyed and the crew is thrown overboard during which time Angelica comes to the rescue of Prince William despite the protesting of her best friend Finn.     
 
     When Angelica returns to the undersea palace, she is distraught by having to live in a separate world. Her father is angry that she encountered humans and has promised the entire kingdom that if anyone has any contact with the human world ever again they will be banished from the kingdom. Upset Angelica leaves the palace to seek refuge and solitude in her cave of human things when her loving Grandmer comes to her with a gift, a gift that brings her hope.
     
     Our wonderful casts consists of members representing the areas of Lafayette, Opelousas, Iota, and Crowley ranging from toddlers to adults from merfolk, fish, sea turtles, a sea horse, kelp and an evil sea witch to sailors, palace staff, townsfolk, a steward, and a prince.
