Wayland Middle School teacher Aaron Wissner (center) portrays King Triton, son of sea god Poseidon, widowed husband of Queen Athena, and harried single father of seven vivacious, energetic mermaid daughters in the production of Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” at the Duncan Lake Middle School Performing Arts Center Friday and Saturday, June 30 and July 1..
“I just learned that my youngest daughter, Ariel, again violated the Mer-Laws, which forbid contact between merfolk and humans, by swimming up to the surface!” Wissner posted on Facebook. “This careless behavior resulted in her missing her premiere solo in the kingdom’s anniversary celebration of my ascension to the throne and my banishment of the evil sea witch Ursula!”
The curtain rises on both performances at 7 p.m.
