The Little Mermaid, Sounds of Summer This Week

Also this week, a rendition of "Fiddler on the Roof" in Millville.

The Sounds of Summer concert series returns this week to Gloucester Township.

The Mainstage Center for the Arts will perform at the Gabriel Davies Tavern on 4th Ave. in the Glendora section of the township. The concert is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Tuesday.

Mainstage, the local theater company that celebrated its 25th anniversary over the weekend, will have a busy week. It will also stage a rendition of Disney's The Little Mermaid Jr. at the Dennis Flyer Theatre on the Blackwood campus of Camden County College.

Based on the 1987 Disney film and adapted from the 2008 Broadway production, The Little Mermaid Jr. features hit songs “Part of Your World,” “Kiss the Girl,” and the Oscar-winning “Under the Sea,” the theater company says. Click here for more information.

If you have an appetite for even more theater, try the Levoy Theater's production of Fiddler on the Roof

"This rousing musical, based on the stories of Shalom Aleichem, takes place in
pre-revolutionary Russia and centers on the life of Tevye, a milkman who is 
trying to keep his family’s traditions in place while marrying off his three older daughters," Levoy says. "Yet, times are changing and the daughters want to make their own matches, breaking free of many of the constricting customs required of them by Judaism. In the background of these events, Russia is on the brink of revolution and Jews are feeling increasingly unwelcome in their villages. Tevye–who expresses his desire for sameness in the opening number, “Tradition”–is trying to keep everyone, and everything, together."

Cap off the week at the Blackwood Farmers Market. It's held weekly on Saturdays in the parking lot of the Camden County Library in Blackwood on the Black Horse Pike from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
