The Community Arts Council of Blount County Presents: Disney's The Little Mermaid

Star of the show, Michaela Slocum, playing Ariel opens sits upon a rock as she sings "Part of your world."

On Saturday, Sept. 18th at 2:00pm, I attended a community theater performance of Disney's The Little Mermaid put on my The Community Arts Council of Blount County. As a concert/performance regular and a graduate of an established performing arts high school, I am no soft critic, but this group of talented performers had me on the edge of my seat. Their passion, dedication, and raw talent was evident from their stage presence to their killer vocals. I couldn't be more proud to say that community arts are alive and well even in the rural areas of central Alabama.
