Theatre Academy – Disney’s The Little Mermaid Jr.

The Theatre in the Park Academy is a youth-centered theatre program focused on learning through process, not pressure. It is a professional educational environment that treats young people seriously, listens to them first, and builds trust through consistency and joy. While it exists within the larger Theatre in the Park ecosystem, the Academy shifts the focus inward. Where Theatre in the Park presents finished stories to an audience, the Academy is where stories and performers are questioned, challenged, and reshaped. This is theatre as a practice rather than a product, and success is measured through growth, pride, relationships, and confidence, not competition or prestige.

If you’ve seen Disney’s “The Little Mermaid,” you probably know the story.

A curious young mermaid dreams of another world. She takes a leap into the unknown, discovers who she is, and ultimately finds her voice. It’s a beautiful story.  It also happens to sound a lot like a week at the Theatre In the Park Academy classrooms!

 Join us as Ariel’s adventure come to life on the Theatre in the Park stage! On Aug. 7 and 8, more than 120 young performers and technicians will come together to create Disney’s “The Little Mermaid Jr.” as the academy returns to Theatre in the Park’s outdoor stage for one of its biggest educational experiences of the year.
