The LIttle Mermaid: On Stage this Weekend at Scarsdale High School

The stage is set and the audience is buzzing for Scarsdale High School's fall musical, The Little Mermaid. The cast of almost 30 students is excited to bring this classic Disney tale of under-the-sea love to their audiences.

Daniel Bornstein, a freshman who is playing the role of Sebastian the Crab, says "I had so much fun doing this show! To help me dive into the character and his Caribbean culture, I worked with Lyla Persad, a dialect coach, to help me hone my performance."

This year's show is especially important to the students and the school because it is the first Drama Club musical in the newly renovated auditorium. Last year, the Drama Club's production of Chicago: Teen Edition was performed at Iona Prep's Paul Verni Fine Arts Center, which was loaned to them for rehearsals and three performances.

James McNally, a sophomore who is playing Chef Louis, remembers, "It was really hard to take the bus to rehearsal every day, and it really hurt our efficiency, so it's really great to be in a theater that is in the school." The cast and crew, directed by Mrs. Barbara Malecki and musically director Dr. Michael Kumeresan, are so excited for you to see their show.

The Little Mermaid at Scarsdale High School performs Friday 11/21 and Saturday 11/22 at 7 PM, and Sunday 11/23 at 2 PM. Come join the cast under the sea!
