Working On A Splash-Hit Musical

I had the pleasure of dropping into Encore Performing Arts Academy to take production photos and footage for their musical The Little Mermaid.

Encore is a company I've worked with for the last thirteen years now, in a multitude of different ways, but the highlight for me is always their shows. I had the pleasure of directing Nativity! the Musical in 2023, and again in 2024, and I also got to perform as my dream role, Nancy, in Oliver! in March 2024.

This is the first year I haven't been knees deep in the production, so it was lovely to step back inside the theatre and watch the production they've been working on since January come alive.

The Little Mermaid is nothing short of spectacular. The cast, the set, the costumes, the orchestra...everything is just amazing. I couldn't wait to share some photos!
