2 How to be a #1 Audience! Here are a few guidelines for being a respectful audience member. Every person has a job to do to make sure the live performance goes on! Here is how you can play your part! 1. Stay sitting in your seat. 2. Keep your hands and feet to yourselves. 3. If the actors ask the audience questions, it s okay to answer! 4. You can laugh when something is funny! 5. Pay attention! Watch and listen carefully to what is going on. 6. Get ready to clap at the end of the show when the actors bow. 7. Have fun, enjoy the show, and be sure to share the story with your parents! The Audience Game Learn the difference between a #1, #2 and #3 audience Teachers, here is a theater game to play with your students. It s a fun way to reinforce what it means to be a #1 listening audience and prepare for watching a play in the theater. #1 Audience is quiet, stays still, and pays attention to what is going on. #2 Audience whispers, fidgets a little, and looks around. #3 Audience talks loudly, moves around, and doesn t really care about what is happening on the stage. After explaining the differences among the different audience behaviors and having your class practice each one, hold up one, two or three fingers to signal which audience the class should pretend to be. Switch from one audience number to another to get the appropriate response. To be tricky, you can hold up the same number finger twice or change numbers really quickly. You can also have students, one at a time, take your place, allowing them to be the leader of the group by holding up fingers and directing the class themselves.

3 Theater Words! How many theater words and their definitions do you know?

4 Before Seeing the Musical The Man Behind the 1837 Story: Hans Christian Andersen Hans Christian Andersen was born on April 2, 1805 in Odense, Denmark. Andersen from the start was artistic, sensitive, driven, and always fond of stories. Arabian Nights (1704) was a childhood favorite and an important inspiration. He often compared himself to Aladdin and the rags to riches journey. He would become a world-renowned author of some of the most beloved fairytales. Starting school was painful and embarrassing for the boy of seventeen; due to starting late he had to learn among children much younger than he. Eventually Andersen was taken out and tutored in Copenhagen. The hard times of schooling didn t hinder Andersen. He was quite ambitious and unashamed to network himself with people far above his station, age, and success. His first known work of writing was sometime in the early 1820 s. A short, prose, allegory called The Tallow Candle. He selfpublished his first fiction novel in 1829 with Journey on Food from Holmen s Canal. The novel wasn t successful but shows Andersen s determination. Hans Christian Andersen is one of the founding fathers of classic fairytales. He shortly followed Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, who first began collecting old folklore stories in 1806 at 20 years old. (Andersen was born just a year earlier) The Brothers Grimm can boast over 200 short fairytales. Among their classics are Cinderella, Rapunzel, and Hansel and Gretel. In 1837 Andersen, in his third fairytale booklet, would write The Little Mermaid. The Little Mermaid was published in one of Andersen s booklet of fairytales. This third booklet had only two stories: The Emperor s New Clothes and The Little Mermaid. Andersen s many fairy tale short stories go beyond the child s bedtime-story category that modern audiences often put the classics into. He took from his own experiences, his own fears and put that heart into his stories. Child mortality is a constant theme throughout his stories at a time when infant deaths were rampant. The mortality theme could also be traces of his loss of childhood through witnessing great violence, harsh schooling, and being bullied by other children. He also incorporates lost love and pangs of yearning in a lot of stories. He himself was always yearning for his best friend Edward and living a life of love that was socially nonexistent at that time. His fairytales inspire empathy, curiosity, questions of morality. In 1872 symptoms of liver cancer began to show eventually leading to his death in 1875 on August 4th. Andersen traveled to Italy and Germany, won the Freedom of the City of Odense, met Charles Dickens, and was a Privy Councillor for Copenhagen. He wrote over two hundred fairytales, several novels, autobiographies, travelogues, and over a thousand poems.

5 Hans Christian Andersen s The Little Mermaid s Plot: Hans Christian Andersen s story of a young mermaid s dream to be on land and desperation to receive the love of a human prince is different from Disney s 2008 musical. Though the setup is somewhat the same, the bulk of the plot and dark German Romanticism ending could come as a shock to those first familiar with Ariel and Prince Eric s happy ending. Andersen paints a beautiful and intricate world down below the surface of the ocean. Sea plants grow like trees and fish swim through them like birds. Humans are unaware of the merpeople s existence. When the youngest daughter of the King of the merpeople turns fifteen, she is allowed to visit the surface for the first time. However, the young mermaid is not only drawn to world unlike her own and a handsome young prince, but desperately wants the human condition that merpeople do not have: a soul. She quickly can tell that the human existence, though shorter and dimmer, is much more valuable and comes with an eternal afterlife. The merpeople live for hundreds of years and live among the most beautiful things of earth, but after three hundred years, they become dust. She saves the fragile life of a human prince and falls in love with him, rescuing him from a wrecked ship and returning him to shore. Sulamith Wulfing was a German artist born in 1901 who was inspired by Andersen s fairy tales. The maiden visits the sea witch and has her tongue cut and drinks a potion that tears her fin apart violently to reveal two legs. She must join the human prince in matrimony to receive a soul or she will be unable to return to her family and become the foam of sea. Though the prince grows fond of the mysterious mute maiden, his heart belongs to the woman who found him on the shore after the mermaid rescued him. They marry. Before the mermaid dies, her sisters appear by the wedding ship and declare that she can still return as a mermaid if she kills the prince with a special dagger the sisters have gotten from the sea witch. The young selfsacrificing mermaid cannot bring herself to do, but throws the dagger into the water, sealing her fate. Instead of turning to foam, she is swept away by The Daughters of Air, where she spends three hundred years bringing winds of grace to children in need, earning the right to a soul. Andersen s mermaid story was inspired by Friedrich de la Motte Fouque s Undine. Andersen s premise is similar but with a more sacrificial ending. Henrik Ibsen, the famous playwright also from Denmark was a great fan of Hans Christian Andersen. His play The Lady from the Sea is also about a mermaid. The show premiered in 1879, four years after Andersen's death.

6 The Little Mermaid Musical Synopsis The Little Mermaid opens as a young mermaid named Ariel breaks through the ocean waves to witness the surface above. She is instantly enraptured and feels a sense of belonging in the world above. She returns to her kingdom below, while a ship comes into view. On board, the excited crew sing of the mysteries of the fathoms below. At the helm is Eric, a young prince next in line for the thrown. He doesn t care about the crown but wants to venture into the unknown, free in the sea. We return to Ariel and her dear fish friend, Flounder as they discuss their found human items with a seagull named Scuttle. Ariel is intensely drawn to humans and the land they live on and wants to learn more. Realizing she s late for a music concert held in her father s, King Triton of the merpeople, honor. She rushes back to King Triton s court but is too late. Her six older sisters are over it, her choir teacher (and right-hand-man to the King) Sebastian is distraught, and her father is disappointed. Next we travel deeper into the ocean and into Ursula the Sea Witch s lair. We soon learn that Ursula too was the seventh daughter of the once great king, Poseidon. She was envious of her sisters and wanted the power her father possessed, so she managed to do away with all her sisters. But the throne wouldn t be hers for long, for she had a younger brother, Triton. When he grew into the crown he soon banished the wicked, greedy, witch. Meanwhile, Ariel pines away in her secret cave of human artifacts and dreams of being part of the world above. As she visits the surface again, she sees Prince Eric and falls in love with him. Suddenly a storm hits and the ship crashes. As Eric sinks to his death, Ariel rescues him and leaves him on the beach shore. As he lays unconscious, Ariel sings again of her true desire to be part of his world. As Eric comes to consciousness, he remembers a beautiful voice of someone who saved him, but he doesn t know who. Down below, Ariel s sisters figure out she s in love. Flounder accidentally lets it slip that it s probably that human they saw. While up above, Eric sings of finding her voice and reuniting with his rescuer, Sebastian down below tries to convince Ariel to stay under the sea. But when Triton learns of Ariel s human crush, they fight and he destroys her cave collection. He doesn t understand how she could love a human when it was humans that killed his wife. This pushes Ariel to visit the Sea Witch to find a way to walk on land. Ursula convinces Ariel that she loves to help poor unfortunate souls. In return for giving up her voice, Ariel is granted human legs. She has three days to get the prince to kiss her or her soul will be Ursula s forever. On land, Ariel is weak and excited but worried about her lack of voice to communicate. Prince Eric finds her on the beach and invites her into the palace for clothing and food. Eric and Ariel quickly bond, even without the verbal communication.

7 Below, Triton worries about his daughter and Ursula worries Ariel will get that kiss after-all. We learn of her plan to win Ariel s soul and by doing so, win over Triton and the power over the seas. Sebastian steps in and tries to set the mood to encourage Eric to kiss the girl. Ursula intervenes, disrupting the kiss. Then it s time for Eric s ball, organized by Grimsby (Eric s right-hand-man). The ball is actually a singing contest to try to find the voice of the girl who saved the prince and whom Eric cannot shake from his mind. As princess after princess sing their heart out, Eric grows weary. Then Ariel steps up and dances for Eric, her eyes brimming with love. Eric doesn t care about the voice anymore, he has fallen in love with Ariel. But before he can kiss Ariel the sun turns red and Ursula snatches up Ariel, turning her back into a mermaid and dragging her deep into the sea. Triton comes to his daughter s rescue but he sees it s too late. He gives his trident and power over to Ursula in exchange for Ariel s soul. Ursula confesses to the murder of Triton s wife. Triton is captured and Ursula had control over the seas, until Ariel breaks her dark magic shell, killing Ursula. Ariel and her father reunite and ask for forgiveness. They now understand one another and Triton gives his blessing for Prince Eric to marry Ariel so that they may live happily ever after.

12 The Magic and Mystery of the Sea Humans have always been in awe of the sea. We have always needed the sea for navigation, trade and food but we have always feared it. Traveling on the ocean is quite safe today, but in ancient times, a sudden storm or lack of wind could mean a death sentence. Because the sea was so vast yet so necessary, many myths and legends sprung up around its watery mysteries. From the ancient Biblical story of Jonah and the whale to the legends of the Bermuda Triangle, from stories such as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea to movies such as Jaws, the sea continues to flood our imaginations with hope and fear. Below find information about the different myths of the sea you ll encounter in The Little Mermaid and folklore: Triton - Triton was a Greek god of the sea. The son of Poseidon and Amphitrite, god and goddess of the ocean, Triton was usually shown with a powerful upper body of a human and the tail of a fish. Triton s weapon of choice was his trident, a three-pronged spear. The sound of his twisted conch shell could calm the waves or raise mighty storms. Mermaids - Throughout history, sailors have spoken of mysterious creatures with the head and torso of a human and the tail of a fish who live in beautiful cities beneath the waves. Famous explorers like Christopher Columbus and Henry Hudson wrote about encounters with mermaids in their logs. Hudson wrote, One of our company, looking overboard, saw a mermaid her body as big as one of us; her skin very white and black hair hanging down behind they saw her tail, like the tail of a porpoise (The New York Times, November 4, 1888). Mermaids were known for their great beauty and their love of song. Sailors told of mermaids sunning themselves on rocks, while ships passing by would hear their sweet-sounding melodies. Their songs would make men fall in love, or drive them mad. Over the centuries, many countries and cultures have created their own mermaid myths: Mami Wata - an African water spirit often shown as a mermaid, can bring good luck, or if crossed, may cause fatal drowning! Yawkyawks Aboriginal people of Australia told tales of these mermaids who would grow legs and walk among humans at night.

13 The Native American Shawneo people believed that a half-man, half-fish with two tails had led their ancestors across the water from Asia to North America. Merrows Irish mermaids who were able to live underwater by wearing magical caps. Today many believe that what sailors saw were not mermaids but manatees, huge marine mammals also known as sea cows. While it may seem strange to imagine these creatures mistaken for beautiful women with the tails of fish, put yourself in a sailor s shoes. At sea for months, or years, sailors who were hungry, thirsty, and certainly lonely were ripe for fantastic stories of ladies of the ocean and water spirits. Suddenly looking out at the ocean, they may see a head peak out of the water with soulful eyes and a body with a huge tail. Perhaps the creature s head is covered with seaweed, resembling long hair. Under these circumstances, it s understandable that the myth of the mermaid was born. Epic Sea Monsters - In The Little Mermaid, Ursula is a monster octopus and threatens Prince Eric s ship. For ancient sailors, the sea could be a deadly place. Myths of horrific sea monsters were formed to explain ship wrecks and disappearances. Scylla and Charybdis As described in Homer s epic poem, The Odyssey, these two monsters would haunt the Strait of Messina leading into Sicily, Italy. Scylla was a six-headed man-eating monster. Charybdis was a huge whirlpool that could swallow a ship whole. Sailors had a hard time navigating between these two sea monsters. The Kraken the horrible squid-like creature that hunted Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies originated from an old sea legend of a huge tentacle-monster that would rise out of the sea to bring ships down to the deep. The Sirens In The Little Mermaid, Prince Eric is enchanted by Ariel s beautiful singing voice, but in Greek mythology, the Sirens half-birds, half-women would use their seductive songs to distract sailors, causing them to run their ships against jagged rocks.

14 Keeping the Ocean Clean Isn t this perfection, Grimsby? Out on the open sea, surrounded by nothing but water Prince Eric. In The Little Mermaid, water is a means of trade, transportation, adventure and, especially for the mermaids, survival. The ocean contains rich and vital ecosystems. Entire communities literally live off the bounty of the sea, and close to one billion people around the world depend on the ocean for nutrition. Yet the ocean is not an inexhaustible resource, and despite their importance to us, marine resources are being abused. Overfishing and pollution are in danger of destroying the precious balance of the world s ocean. The ocean is an important part of the circle of life, as they say in The Lion King. Pollutants that are put down the drain, into the earth or let loose in the air eventually reach the open sea and can cause damage to marine life, sea birds and human beings. Wherever you live, even in a land-locked area, you depend on the sea. We are the stewards of our natural resources; it s up to us to protect the ocean and the creatures in it after all, we are a part of their world. Impact a Part of Your World : Make a Difference: volunteer your time or donate to an organization that works to protect ocean and coastal habitats. DON T TRASH WHERE YOU SPLASH! Appreciate Your Ocean and Coasts: enjoy the ocean, waterways and shorelines. But remember that these recreation areas are a fragile home to many plants and animals. Respect Your Ocean and Coasts: recycle, reduce and reuse. Keep trash and plastics off waterfronts and in trash cans. Educate Yourself: investigate how the ocean impacts your school or community from drainage issues and recycling to cafeteria fish sticks! Read about special ocean areas like national marine sanctuaries and share what you know.

15 Specific Action Steps - Here s how to help: Encourage students to adopt ecologically sustainable practices at home, school, in the general community, and along the coast and in the ocean. Partner with other schools in your watershed to develop collaborative conservation projects and information exchanges. Work with your local community to promote the use of re-useable bags in place of plastic bags that have the potential to become marine debris and injure marine and other wildlife. Clearly mark school and local storm water drains with suitable signs, such as This drain leads to the ocean. Ocean terminology: Conserve: to prevent waste or loss of; to use or manage (natural resources) wisely; preserve; save. Ecosystem: an ecological community together with its environment, functioning as a unit (e.g. coral reef ecosystems). Habitat: the natural environment of an organism; place that is natural for the life and growth of an Organism. Marine Sanctuary: a place that provides protection to part or all of the plants, creatures or cultural resources. Ocean: the vast body of salt water that covers almost three fourths of the Earth s surface. Watershed: the region draining into a river, river system, or other body of water. Inexhaustible: that cannot be entirely consumed or used up. Steward: a guardian or protector Protect your ocean friends by putting trash in its place not in the ocean. Help out in a beach clean-up and always leave the environment in better condition than you found it.
