Young Star Musical Theatre has offered its theater and rehearsal space to the young actors scheduled to perform in the Garden Theatre’s production of “The Little Mermaid,” previously scheduled for Oct. 24 through 27. The Garden Theatre announced Wednesday, Oct. 2, it was immediately shutting its doors because of financial issues.

The staff at YSMT issued a statement: “We are sad to hear the recent news about the closure of the Garden Theatre. We know how much time, effort and heart has gone into their upcoming production of ‘The Little Mermaid,’ and our hearts go out to everyone involved. Young Star Musical Theatre wants to help any way we can. We’re offering our theater and rehearsal space, 67 S. Dillard St., right down the street from the Garden, so the show can go on and these young performers can still experience the magic of bringing their talents to the stage.”

More information will be shared as it is released.
