Young Cherry Hill Actors Perform in Disney’s “The Little Mermaid”

Olivia Bee Sposa and Akiva Schostak will take to the Walnut Mainstage in the ensemble of Disney’s The Little Mermaid, playing November 16, 2021 through January 2, 2022.

Based on the beloved Hans Christian Andersen story and the classic film, Disney's The Little Mermaid is the hauntingly beautiful story of Ariel, who dreams of finding her own way in the world above the sea. Featuring unforgettable songs such as "Under the Sea," "Kiss the Girl" and "Part of Your World," Disney’s The Little Mermaid promises to be one of the most spectacular productions ever staged at the Walnut!

Olivia Bee Sposa and Akiva Schostak are both students at Rosa International Middle School in eighth grade and seventh grade, respectively. Sposa, who makes her Walnut debut, is a student at Melissa Daniels McCann Vocal Studio, Next Stage Dance & Drama Academy, and the Broadway Dreams Foundation.

Schostak who has previously been on the Walnut Stage in Matilda as Bruce and Shrek in the ensemble, started his acting career in a production of The Music Man at Cherry Hill High School East.
