Dear Educator,
Welcome to the Center for Puppetry Arts and
our production of The Little Pirate Mermaid adapted
and directed by Jon Ludwig. Founded in 1978,
the Center is celebrating 30 years as a cherished
cultural and educational resource in Atlanta. We
value your patronage and are delighted that you
have chosen us as a teaching resource. Your
students are in for a big treat!
This study guide was designed to enhance student
learning before and after your visit to the Center
for Puppetry Arts. The Little Pirate Mermaid is
a swashbuckling adaptation of Hans Christian
Andersen’s The Little Mermaid, brought to life
through the magic of puppetry. This beautiful
large-scale marionette show is the perfect
accompaniment to a thematic unit on fantasy, folk
and fairy tales, the ocean or pirates.
All three areas of programming at the Center
for Puppetry Arts
(performance, puppet-
making workshops and Museum) meet Georgia
Performance Standards (GPS), Georgia Quality
Core Curriculum Standards (GA QCCs) and
Georgia Bright From the Start Pre-K Program
Standards. To access the GA Performance/QCC
standards that have been correlated to each
programming area according to grade level, click

memories for many years to come.
Sincerely,
Alan Louis
