Last week, Gage Hall was filled with the underwater sights and sounds of the middle school musical, Disney’s The Little Mermaid. Countless hours of collaboration — practice, line-preparation, staging and set design — went into this production in which Ariel desires to become human in her magical kingdom beneath the sea.

Congratulations to each talented actor, actress and stagehand and to their dedicated director, Mrs. Chrystal Hawkins, and her assistant director, Mrs. Debbie Held. Musical Theater is an elective class available to seventh and eighth graders at Charleston Day. Here’s to another terrific theatrical CDS experience!
