The Lobero Theatre
Join us on a journey under the sea for a world premiere featuring all-new sets, costumes, life-sized puppets, and a world premiere musical score by composer Charles Fernandez. In this heartwarming tale, The Little Mermaid takes the ultimate adventure, sacrificing her tail and her voice to experience life as a human and pursue true love. An imaginative take on a classic story, this production is perfect for all ages.
