“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,” a press release reads of the coming production of Disney’s “The Little Mermaid Jr.”

Disney’s “The Little Mermaid Jr.” performs Saturday, Sept. 30, at 2 and 4:30 p.m. Tickets are $5 each and can be purchased at paigeproductionsAZ.com.
