'Little Mermaid' brings new music to the Andersen fairy tale

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: For four high-school students, landing the leading role in one of four performances of "The Little Mermaid" is a dream come true.
Mari Boyle, a junior at Greensburg Salem; Missy Graf, a senior at Greensburg Central; Nicole Stouffer, a senior at Mt. Pleasant; and Jessica Kotik, a freshman at Penn Trafford will share time in the spotlight as Muriel in Stage Right student company's musical adaptation of the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale.

I think that this is an great opportunity for the high school students. While growing up,I have had a the privilege to have a variety of hands on opportunities to experience theater and that has changed my life significantly. Anything like this program with allows young students the ability to try out and experience theatre in a hands on why not only opens their minds to this industry, but allows them to explore something artistic that they may not have been able to otherwise. It's my belief that no matter what, children should be exposed to a theatrical situation in which they can see the power creative ideas and hard work can achieve. This opportunity is so much more because it is in a semi-professional atmosphere. I only wish that more students could understand and see an opportunity like this.
