Under the sea with the Community Children's Theatre

On this week's episode of Out and About, Dr. Mae Gilliland Wright of ArtsPartners of Central Illinois talks with the Community Children’s Theatre about their upcoming show, The Little Mermaid, with director Kayla Harvey.

You can see the performances at Peoria Players Theatre now through July 13 at 7 p.m. and also July 13 and 14 at 1 p.m. Grab tickets here. In this episode we discuss not only the show itself, but also the benefits of programming in the arts for youth in our community. Don't miss it! It's as fun as the celebrated song by Samuel E. Wright suggests: "We got no troubles, Life is the bubbles, Under the sea!"

Jody Holtz is WCBU's assistant program and development director, <i>All Things Considered</i> host, as well as the producer of WCBU’s arts and culture podcast <i>Out and About</i>.
