Journey Under the Sea with Ariel and Her Aquatic Friends

The Kalamazoo Civic Youth Theatre’s production of Disney’s The Little Mermaid JR. takes you on an enchanting Journey “under the sea” with Ariel and her aquatic friends in the Civic Auditorium October 23-November 1, 2026.

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. Adapted from the 2008 Broadway production, the 1989 motion picture, and based on the beloved story by Hans Christian Andersen, Disney’s The Little Mermaid JR. is an enchanting look at the sacrifices we all make for love and acceptance.
