NEW MARTINSVILLE — It’s Showtime! The set is finished, the costumes are ready, and the cast is prepared for ArtsLink’s presentation of the Wayward Players’ production of “The Little Mermaid Jr.” children’s theater.

ArtsLink president Scarlet Hood said, “With a cast of nearly 40 local kids, this will be one hilariously entertaining show – everybody’s stoked!” Show times at the Lincoln Theater in downtown New Martinsville are 7 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 1, Friday, Aug. 2 and Saturday, Aug. 3; with a matinee at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 4.

This classic Disney title contains all of the songs from the Academy Award-winning animated feature film as well as three new songs from the Broadway show. “The Little Mermaid Jr.” takes place in a magical kingdom beneath the sea, where a beautiful young mermaid named Ariel longs to leave her ocean home to live in the world above. But first, she’ll have to defy her father, the king of the sea, escape the clutches of an evil sea witch and convince a prince that she’s the girl with the perfect voice.
