WATCH: FAU's new take on 'The Little Mermaid'
"The Little Mermaid" has probably been a "Part of Your World" since 1989. Disney's "Under the Sea" tale is perhaps the most famous but it was written by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen and published in 1837.
Now, Florida Atlantic University has a new take on the fantasy film about a family riding out a thunderstorm in their home. The latest adaptation uses music, dance, and comedy to encourage "young people to to trust their inner voice and be unafraid to pursue their own path."
The production is put on by FAU's Theater Lab is the university's professional resident company. Who has an outreach program, called Future PAGES Project, which connects the performing arts to students, those "Poor Unfortunate Souls," who may not have encountered or been exposed to the theater before.
PAGES is an acronym for playwrights, actors, and generation of exciting storytellers.
The performances are appropriate for ages 5 and older.
