Sell-Out Crowds See this Shining Sea

Lavish sets, costumes and outstaning young talent have become the trademark of Catholic Community Choir productions in the community theater's first decade.

This weekend's production of Little Mermaid Jr. lived up to the tradition, turning the huge auditorium of E.T. Richardson Middle School in Springfield into an undersea feast for the eyes and ears.

CCC Founder and Mermaid Director Jeffrey Braconnier and his team created a lavish, sparkly, and enticing production for all ages, featuring a huge video screen and some powerhouse young vocalists.

Kaitlin Farren stars in the title role of Ariel and Kyra McKillip is Ursula, the witch of the sea who allows Ariel to trade her beautiful singing voice for a pair of human legs in pursuit of the human object of her Ariel's affection.
