The Little Mermaid Jr
January 22 - March 17, 2021
*Hybrid Musical*
InnOVATION will produce The Little Mermaid Jr as a mixed media musical. The musical will feature a filmed performance, shown on a big screen as a ticketed event. In the hybrid approach, some rehearsals will take place online and some will take place in person. All students must participate in in-person filming. Students will wear a face mask and distance at all times while in the building, but we will film in larger groups with masks on ensemble members but not on leads (exception: puppet characters can stay in masks at all times unless it impedes clarity of text.) We will pre-record ensemble vocals and ensure sufficient distancing (10 feet from cast, backs to cast, outdoors or in large, high-ceiling auditorium) when individual leads remove their masks for filming.
Due to COVID restrictions, we will limit the number of students who can participate.
Beginner Rehearsal Schedule:
Thursdays from 5:00-6:30pm February-March 11, 2021
Tech Week and Performances:
Filming the week of March 8-12 from 5-10pm with additional filming on March 13 from 9am-5pm and March 14 from 1-6pm. Please hold March 15-17 as additional filming days if needed. PreK and Beginners will be called for specific, limited times that are currently TBD, but we will likely aim for their normal class times (ie. Saturday am or Thursday 5-6:30pm.)
Film to be released/red carpet opening in April TBD. Performance tickets will range in price from $15-$20.
Class Requirements:
• No prior training required.
