Groove Theatre’s production of The Little Mermaid will our first attempt at what we’re calling “drive in theatre in the round”. Below is series of bullet points of the precautions we have taken to bring you this show during the COVID-19 pandemic.

• Drive-In Audiences: Audiences are to remain in their vehicles throughout the duration of the performance. Windows may be rolled down, but please do not sit on the grass or on the outside of your vehicle. Please have your car battery on for radio and air conditioning, but please turn off your headlights, hazards, and car engine.
• Masked Performers: In addition to wearing commedia-style eye masks, face masks over the nose and mouth have been incorporated into the costume design for the safety of the performers (they are also staged to never physically touch). In addition to safety, the design of the face masks gives our performers a slightly “otherworldly” aesthetic
• Radio broadcast: Our actors’ microphones beneath their masks are able to broadcast into your car radio with no delay in transmission. Simply tune your radio in the appropriate FM channel and our sound and music will transmit directly through your speakers.
• Familiar Show: In addition to taking all these precautions, we selected The Little Mermaid for its familiarity and its length. The show runs 45 minutes with no intermission, which should be plenty of time to enjoy a show without draining a car battery.
• Pricing: We only have 20 parking spots per night for this show. PLEASE BE ADVISED $10 reserves car space and a ticket for the driver, $5 per additional adult (over 18) in the vehicle. Children and minors are admitted for free. Concessions are provided by Sailwinds Park
