Little Mermaid, Jr. T-Shirts and Hoodies now available

New this year, we’re selling themed Little Mermaid T-shirts and hoodies to help raise money for the play and promote the show. The tie-dye Spirit Wear shirts are the perfect fashion item for those watching the play, or for cast and crew members who want to promote the show! The shirts can be worn to school on Spirit Wear days. A note for parents of cast and crew members: These shirts are different than the Cast and Crew shirts we’ll provide for tech week. All proceeds from the sale of the shirts will go toward the production of the Little Mermaid, Jr. Order your shirts online here. For any questions, please contact Nicole Utz at [email protected].

 

How to order your show digital copy

As we have done in years past, we will be offering a digital copy of our performance video recording for $20. You can purchase the digital copy on Give Central at givecentral.org/mermaid. The digital file will be available after the performances.
 
New photo memory book available 
New this year, we’re offering cast and crew member families the opportunity to purchase a photo memory book. The book will feature photos of the cast and crew from rehearsals through tech week and performances. The cost is $25 and you can order your copy at www.givecentral.org/photobook. The photo books will be sent home with your children later in the school year, as it takes time to create and print the book after the performances.
 

For any questions on any of these items, please contact Deanna Martin at [email protected] or 317-223-6295.

A few reminders: 
  • For cast members: Please continue to rehearse your songs by listening to the files (found below on this page) and practicing choreography (videos can be found by scrolling down on this page). 
 
Rehearsal Schedule 
 
If your student will miss a rehearsal they were called to, or needs to arrive late or leave early, please use this Attendance Form to give us a heads up. This will help us make the most of our rehearsal time. The attendance form can also be found on the right hand side of this webpage.

A note about reading the rehearsal schedule for those new to the spring musical: Not all cast members are called for every rehearsal. Look in the "Called" column to see if your character is needed for that particular rehearsal. Also, be sure to note the location of the rehearsal, as we have several different areas where we meet (school hall, choir loft, etc). If your character is only called for part of the rehearsal, they only need to attend for that time period, not the entire rehearsal. 
Congratulations to our cast! 
 
The cast list for The Little Mermaid, Jr. is now available! Congratulations to all members of our cast. We have so much talent here at St. Juliana, and we are incredibly proud of all the cast members for having the courage to audition. We're looking forward to an amazing show!
