Carolina Ballet presents The Little Mermaid at Fletcher Opera Theater beginning Thursday March 15th through April 1st.

Two-time Tony Award nominee Lynne Taylor-Corbett has created memorable choreography for Broadway shows (Titanic, Chess and Swing!) and films (Footloose, My Blue Heaven and Vanilla Sky). She also has created some of Carolina Ballet’s most popular works, including The Ugly Duckling, which was a big hit last season.
