Performances run through December 10, 2023 in the Sitnik Theatre of the Lackland Performing Arts Center of the Centenary University campus at 715 Grand Avenue, Hackettstown, NJ. Centenary Stage Company's production has 12 more performances left of the run which includes a special matinee on Tuesday, December 5th at 10:00am for school groups as a field trip opportunity.

Families also have the opportunity to register for “Mermaid Memories” and have their child(ren) take photos with members of the cast, including Ariel following the 2:00pm matinee on Saturday December 2nd. Photos are $10.00 for individual children and $25.00 for groups of 3-6. Photos will be sent digitally for families to print at home.

The production serves as CSC’s “Holiday Spectacular”; a family-friendly show fit for sharing with the whole family during the Holiday season (Please note that CSC productions do still have an age requirement of 5 or older). Disney’s The Little Mermaid follows the journey of Ariel, a young mermaid with an unquenchable thirst for exploration and her quest to find true love, and where she truly belongs; in the sea she’s always known or the mysterious land of the world above. Based on one of Hans Christian Andersen's stories and the Disney animated film, Disney's The Little Mermaid is a love story appropriate for all ages.  The production features music by eight-time Academy Award winner, Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman and Glenn Slater and a book by Doug Wright.
