Oconee Youth Playhouse is a nonprofit youth theater organization that provides performing arts experience for young people. Helping to direct this production is a former OYP actor, Jordan Richey, who played the part of Ariel as a high school student in the 2013 production. She is joining director Terra Hannon, who co-founded OYP in 1998 and will celebrate the landmark of directing 65 shows with this production.
