(WEST WINDSOR, NJ) -- It’s time to journey under the sea as Theater To Go presents an interactive screening of Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” at Mercer County Community College’s (MCCC’s) Kelsey Theatre. Ariel, Prince Eric, Sebastian, Ursula the Sea Witch and members of the audience can all join in the fun on Saturday, April 21 at 10:00am and 2:00pm. Kelsey Theatre is located on the college’s West Windsor Campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road.
Continuing its presentations of popular children’s movie musicals, where children get to play an active role, Theater To Go’s screening of this Disney classic will be led by Elizabeth Rzasa as Ariel and Charles Acosta as Sebastian. “The Little Mermaid” was first released in 1989 and quickly joined Disney’s long list of beloved film favorites.
Patrons are invited to come in costume as their favorite underwater character – and maybe win a prize. Each theater goer will receive a goody bag with props that include verbal prompts and games to play throughout the movie. A trivia contest will test the audience’s “Mermaid” knowledge. All are invited to sing along to such favorites as “Under the Sea,” “Part of Your World,” and “Kiss the Girl.”
Says Theater to Go’s Ruth Markoe, “Feel like singing along? Go right ahead. Here it's all about joining in. The crowd participates – some in costume and others who are just enjoying the ride. It adds up to a really fun time that combines theater with a blockbuster Disney movie.” The company has been offering interactive film screenings at Kelsey Theatre since 2013, including the ever popular “Frozen,” as well as “The Wizard of Oz,” “Mary Poppins,” “Grease,” and “Annie.”
Tickets for “The Little Mermaid” movie party are $18 for adults, $16 for seniors, and $14 for children/students. (The ticket price includes the goody bag.) Tickets may be purchased online at www.kelseytheatre.net or by calling the Kelsey Box Office at 609-570-3333.
Kelsey Theatre is wheelchair accessible, with free parking next to the theater. For a complete list of adult and children's events, visit the Kelsey website or call the box office for a brochure.
