On Saturday, August 9, CBP Aerial Arts, an authentic and professional aerial arts studio located in Gardnerville, presented its 2025 annual production, The Little Mermaid, at the Carson City Community Center’s Bob Boldrick Theater.
The production featured 25 performers between 7 and 60 years old with different level of experiences, going from new beginners to pre-professional aerialists with 9 years of practicing this art. The impressive and phenomenal family show combined aerial arts, acting and dance.
Throughout the two hours show, pieces of music from the Disney animated and live-action movies The Little Mermaid and other songwriters transported the audience under the sea and immersed people into this classic story. The iconic and colorful characters, such as Ariel, Flounder, Sebastian, Scuttle, and Ursula, captivated the audience and brought about a wave of emotions.
The artistic approach of this highly professional show was as beautiful as original. The goergous and refine costumes’ aesthetic and unique marine fauna props gave the show a magical style. Projections of various backgrounds added to the uniqueness of the experience and guided the audience throughout the story. Solos, duets, trios, and group acts in aerial silks, aerial hoop, dance trapeze, and on the ground told this fabulous adventure in an unprecedent way. Spectacular scenes including 9 aerialists flying simultaneously left the audience in awe.
The audience’s expectations were greatly excided and people’s enthusiast for CBP Aerial Arts 2026 Annual Production was highly voiced.
