Who's Who

Amanda Frisby

as Ariel

Amanda is so excited to be back on the amphitheater stage after last being seen in "Hairspray". She's also excited to be sharing it with her real life dog-child, Harper! She is no stranger to playing a princess as manager of her party princess business, Character Booking. Enjoy the show!
Danny Keetch

as Prince Eric

Danny is grateful to perform in this show with such an incredible cast. Playing Eric is a dream role and he is honored to share this journey with such talented individuals. Here's to many more unforgettable performances!
Jake Despain

as Grimsby

Jake finds joy in performing for all audiences. His favorite theatre credits include Willy Wonka in Willy Wonka (Cottonwood Heights) and Gideon in Seven Brides (Draper Theatre). He also sings with the six member acapella band, Eclipse 6, but what brings him the most joy is singing with his children. Check them out at @eclipse6 and @thedespainsingers.
Alan Heinrich

as Pilot

Alan is very excited to be involved in The Little Mermaid for his very first performance…ever! He never thought he would be singing in front of a live audience but with some encouragement from his family, he is looking forward to being in this show along side his granddaughter.
Patrick Despain

as Flounder (5/24, 5/27, 6/1, 6/7)

Patrick loves to sing and perform, with his favorite role being Tiny Tim at Hale Centre Theatre’s Christmas Carol for two years. When not “floundering” over Ariel though, he loves singing Billy Joel songs, playing about any sport, or playing with his pet guinea pig named Pilot.
