What if home, Ariel the mermaid asks in the introduction to her song “Part of Your World,” isn’t a place where you are born, but a place you have to discover?

The Summer Dramatics Project searches for the answer as they bring the tale of “The Little Mermaid” to the Butler County Community College’s Succop Theatre stage this weekend, marking a welcome return of the company after a three-year hiatus due to COVID-19 precautions.

The Summer Dramatics Project Production of the Little Mermaid runs two and a half hours with a 15 minute intermission. Shows are Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15-$17 and can be purchased at the door or at summerdramaticsproject.ludus.com.
