Inland Pacific Ballet

The Little Mermaid

This performance is produced & presented by an outside group renting the theatre and is in no way affiliated with the Lewis Family Playhouse or the City of Rancho Cucamonga and is not part of the regular season lineup.

This spectacular landmark production is part of Inland Pacific Ballets children's series featuring original ballets adapted from adventure filled stories. Magnificent sets include a live shipwreck, and the production is accompanied by a sweeping sound collage of music by classical composers Maurice Ravel, Claude Debussy, Benjamin Britten, Antonin Dvorak and Ralph Vaughan Williams. Innovative aerial technology has under-the-sea creatures spinning and swirling on the stage, and a surprise ending awaits you!
