About DISNEY’S THE LITTLE MERMAID JR.

Journey “under the sea” with Ariel and her aquatic friends in Disney’s The Little Mermaid JR., adapted from Disney’s Broadway production and the motion picture (featuring the enormously popular Academy Award-winning music and delightfully charming book and lyrics). Based on one of Hans Christian Andersen’s most beloved stories, Disney’s The Little Mermaid JR. is an enchanting look at the sacrifices we all make for love and acceptance.

In a magical underwater kingdom, the beautiful young mermaid, Ariel, longs to leave her ocean home — and her fins — behind and live in the world above. But first, she’ll have to defy her father, King Triton, make a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, and convince the handsome Prince Eric that she’s the girl whose enchanting voice he’s been seeking.

“What is Your Cancellation Policy?”

If participants cancel at least ten (10) days before the start of that class or camp, they may receive a full refund.
Participants cancelling between 9 -1 days before the start of class or camp may receive a 50% refund.
No refunds for classes cancelled the first day of a class or camp, or anytime after the class or camp has started.
Students should have no more than 1 planned absence from their class or camp.
Refunds are issued through our Box Office (626-356-7629). When cancelling a class, please also email education@pasadenaplayhouse.org with your student’s name, the name of the class/camp you are cancelling, and the start date of the class.

“Will Food Be Provided?”

No – all campers should come with a packed lunch and snacks!

“When is Drop Off and Pick Up?”

We will open our doors at 8:50am. Until then, we are not responsible for supervising your camper. Pick up is at 3:30pm. There is no aftercare available at this time.

“How Many Campers Are in Each Session?”

40-50 campers will be in each session of Playhouse Players: The Little Mermaid Jr. Within each session, students will be divided into 2 casts of 20- 25 students (so that all students receive a role).

“What Does My Student Need to Bring to Camp?”

Every day, your camper should come with:
- A lunch and snacks
- A water bottle
- Closed toed shoes
- Clothes they can move in comfortably
- Their script (which they will receive the 2nd day of camp)
For dress rehearsals and performances, your camper will need to provide their costume “Base Layer”
The Base Layer is:
- A plain white or black undershirt (T-shirt or tank top)
- Black dance/bike shorts or leggings
These are modesty garments that will be worn under their costumes so that no camper is fully undressing backstage.

“What is the Daily Schedule?”

Here’s a sample schedule for a day of camp:
- 9:00-9:30am: Check-Ins and Vocal/Physical Warm Up
- 9:30-10:30am: Blocking Rehearsal
- 10:30-11:30am: Music Rehearsal
- 11:30am-12:00pm: Lunch
- 12:00pm-12:30pm: Outdoor Games
- 12:30-2:00pm: Choreography Rehearsal
- 2:00-3:00pm: Special Workshop
- 3:00-3:30pm: Review and Share

“When is the Final Performance?”

Each cast will have two performances at the end of camp – one on the last Thursday of the camp session, and one on the last Friday of the camp session. Each cast will have an afternoon and an evening performance, either on the Thursday OR the Friday. Your camper’s specific performance times and schedule will be given to you during the first week of camp, once the whole group is split into their two casts. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate requests for campers to have specific performance times, so please plan to have your camper occupied with performances up until 7:30pm on the last day of their camp session. There will be no tickets sold for the performances – seating capacity allows for each student to have 5 guests maximum to attend each showtime.

“Are there differences between the four sessions?”

No; it’s the same camp, just four different dates to accommodate more campers’ summer schedules.
Session #1 will observe Juneteenth on June 19, and therefore have 9 days of camp instead of 10.

For any other questions, please email the Education Department at education@pasadenaplayhouse.org
