Kearney High School Theatre is rescheduling its 2 p.m. matinee performance of “The Little Mermaid” fall musical from Saturday, Nov. 18, to Sunday, Nov. 19. This decision was made so that the matinee performance doesn’t conflict with the state quarterfinal football game between Kearney and Nevada that kicks off at 1 p.m.

Tickets purchased for the Saturday matinee will automatically switch over to Sunday. Anyone who signed up for the Saturday matinee and can’t make the Sunday show can choose a different night. Please email your request to Theatre Director Haley Kernes at kernesh@ksdr1.net. Refunds for the Saturday matinee are available if the other dates and times don’t work.

The Saturday evening performance of the musical will be held as scheduled.

“The Little Mermaid” will be the first big Kearney High School Theatre production in the recently upgraded auditorium. The improvements include new seating, carpeting and paint, plus state-of-the-art lighting and sound systems. This work was funded by the Proposition B capital improvement bond approved by Kearney School District voters in April of 2022.
