Cross Theatre Club presents The Little Mermaid Jr.

We’re reaching out with a heartfelt plea to support our school theatre department—a place where students discover confidence, creativity, and a sense of belonging.

Preparations are in full swing for our Spring Musical The Little Mermaid Jr. at Wilbur Cross School! The cast and crew are working incredibly hard to put together an entertaining production for their family, friends, classmates, and community to enjoy in May. 

There are many expenses that go into producing quality theatrical productions for our community to experience. We’re asking for your help to make our production the best that it can possibly be! 

We have 30 cast members and it is our goal to find a sponsor for each of them. By sponsoring a cast member, you are helping with the cost of their individual costumes, wigs, and make-up. On average each of our costumes cost $100-$120. These expenses, in addition to the cost to build our set and and rent lighting equipment add up quickly with 30 cast members!

The cost to sponsor a cast member is $50. Your business, or personal names, will be printed in our program, which will be seen our performance on May 15th. 

As a public-school performing arts program our ability to continue to grow is due in large part to the generous support of individual donors who believe in our mission, as well as gifts from businesses and corporations.

For many of our students, theatre is more than just an extracurricular activity. It’s where they find their voice, build lasting friendships, and learn skills that carry far beyond the stage. It’s where shy students become leaders, and where imagination comes to life.
