Tonight’s Program: Songs & Secrets of The Little Mermaid the Musical!
Look behind the curtain of Open Door Theater’s newest show, The Little Mermaid! Enjoy mini-performances at 5:30pm, 6:00pm, and 6:30pm. Join the cast and crew to learn more about the make-up, costumes, music, and props needed to tell this classic tale.
You may want to prepare for your visit by downloading our Story Guide to Discovery Woods, and visiting the Exhibits section of our website. But, please note that Discovery Woods closes at dusk, and therefore will not be open for evening events during the winter months. Dinner, including a gluten-free option, is provided courtesy of Not Your Average Joe’s, Acton. Thank you!

Stevens Foundation, Boston Bruins Foundation, Concord-Carlisle Community Chest, Nypro, Mass Cultural Council, and several Massachusetts Local Cultural Councils.
