Young Montgomery County Actor Performs in “The Little Mermaid"

Ryan Mayor Sullivan performs on the Walnut Mainstage in the ensemble of Disney’s The Little Mermaid, playing November 16, 2021 through January 2, 2022.

Based on the beloved Hans Christian Andersen story and the classic film, Disney’s The Little Mermaid is the hauntingly beautiful story of Ariel, who dreams of finding her own way in the world above the sea. Featuring unforgettable songs such as "Under the Sea," "Kiss the Girl" and "Part of Your World," Disney’s The Little Mermaid promises to be one of the most spectacular productions ever staged at the Walnut!

Ryan Mayor Sullivan is an eighth grader at Ancillae-Assumpta Academy where he studies voice, piano and viola. Making his Walnut debut, Ryan has been actively studying and performing in theatre since he first started at the age of five. “I feel my best when I’m at the theatre,” he says reflecting on his love of the art.

Outside of theatre, Ryan runs track, plays soccer, and creates his own music. He is part of his school's string ensemble, chamber choir, and mixed choir. This production marks his professional theatre debut.
