For anyone feeling nostalgic for the golden age of Disney animated films, they can check out Seaford Middle School’s production of “The Little Mermaid,” with two shows on March 31 and April 1. 

No, it won’t be animated, but it will feature about 45 talented student-actors who are looking to delight audiences with the love story, mixed with plenty of humor, and, of course, an evil witch. The cast will perform many well-known songs such as “Kiss the Girl,” “Part of Your World” and “Under the Sea.”
 
Lead actors include Katharyn Malone as Ariel, Brandon Bombardier as Prince Eric, Henry Brock as King Triton, Madison Spinella as Sebastian, Harrison Feitzinger as Flounder, Zachary Dyckman as Scuttle, Olivia Ferrara as Ursula and Roran Cassidy as Grimsby. They, and the rest of the ensemble of sixth, seventh and eighth graders, have been rehearsing since December.
 
Director Barbara Sherwin is supported by musical director Nick Coacci, stage managers Matt Dolan and Dan Krueger and assistants Amanda Ferguson and Carly Spadafora.  
 
“It’s a beloved Disney fairy tale,” Ms. Sherwin said. “It will bring people back to their childhood when they first watched the animated classic.”


Show times for “The Little Mermaid” are Friday, March 31 and Saturday, April 1 at 7 p.m. in the Seaford Middle School gymnasium. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students, and will be available at the door.
