Event

The Little Mermaid

Anemone (Erin Fitzgerald of Westwood, Ma), an adventurous little mermaid, leaves her undersea realm for a fifteenth birthday excursion to the surface. She hopes to find the prince of her dreams, whose statue she has found. Accompanied by her friends, Clem Clam (Ethan Gekow of Sharon, Ma) and Laura Lobster (Samantha Eddy of Mansfield, Ma), she begins her quest. But a jealous Sea-Witch (Cara DiPietro of Norfolk, Ma) threatens Anemone and her nasty shark cohorts Rip-Tide (Ben Reingold of Sharon, Ma) and Zip-Tide (Jack Manning of Westwood, Ma)terrorize all. The Sea-Witch magically conjures up a storm which sinks a ship carrying Prince Theodore (Daniel Fullerton of Mansfield, Ma). Anemone dives into the waves to save him, but not before she has been tricked into trading her voice to the Sea-Witch. As he recovers from his ordeal, the prince believes Georgina (Georgia Rose Fraser of Sharon, Ma), who discovered him on the rocks, saved him. The prince declares to all that she will be his wife; a fitting "thank you." Meanwhile, the prince has befriended the voiceless Anemone while Georgina, her heart belonging to another, resists the impending marriage. Patience, love and friendship solve this delightful romantic puzzle.
