If your child loves to sing, dance, act, or just wants to try something new in a supportive place, Corella Productions Children’s Theatre Academy has two big opportunities coming up in Erie.
Corella Productions is now rounding out the ensemble for Disney’s The Little Mermaid Jr. in fall 2026 and Disney’s Frozen Jr. in winter 2027. Both productions will be performed on the Cathedral Prep stage, giving young performers the chance to train, rehearse, and be part of a full musical theater experience.

Corella Productions is a female-owned, family-run organization offering after-school performing arts education in the Chicagoland area and Northwestern Pennsylvania. Now celebrating 25 years, Corella Productions has helped thousands of children build confidence, creativity, discipline, self-expression, and a sense of belonging through the performing arts.
At Corella Productions, students learn much more than lines and choreography. Through acting, singing, dancing, and live performance, young performers are encouraged to find their voice, work as part of a team, and grow both on and off the stage.
