West Hawaii Dance Academy presents 'The Little Mermaid' as its spring recital at a single performance May 26 at Aloha Theatre.

Featuring dozens of students and pianist Megumi Kopp, the performance is an annual fundraiser for the dance academy. The classic story tells the tale of Ariel, a free-spirited mermaid who is embarks on the adventure of a lifetime. Joining Ariel are her best friends — the adorable, but shy Flounder; a reggae singing Caribbean crab Sebastian; and her “on land” bird friend, Scuttle. Ariel loves all things “above water," even though that world is forbidden. After saving the handsome Prince Eric from drowning, the slimy Flotsom and Jetsom twin eels have a plan to help her fulfill her dream. It will take all of Ariel’s courage and determination to make her dreams come true — and save her father’s beloved kingdom from the sneaky sea witch Ursula.

The cast includes Joy Choe, Lorenzo Arnouts, Tai King, Mako Yamamoto, Soleil Fitz-Gerald, Jayne Campbell, and Shaena Rosario. Narration is by Barbara Pritchard and choreography is by Virginia Holte and Midori Satoh.

West Hawaii Dance Theatre is a non-profit educational organization and is supported in part by the Hawaii State Foundation on Culture and the Arts, Hawaii Community Foundation, Vance Wall Foundation, and local businesses and families.

Sondra Radvanovsky “was a special triumph, her powerful, penetrating voice filling the house with refulgent sound” in the role of Amelia.

A camp spoof of the exploitation films of the 1950’s, this black comedy by Tom Eyen is set in the Women’s House of Detention in Greenwich Village, which is inhabited by an unusual array of social and psychological female types, and run by an indomitable matron. “Pink Flamingos” film star Divine made her stage debut in the show in 1976. Something different for the adventurous theatre patron!
