THE LITTLE PRINCESS
This was our first Childrens Theater Production at The Cannon Theatre. We had 20 kids participate and act in this production from ages 7-16. The show was on Thurs., Feb. 12, Fri., Feb. 13, and Sat., Feb. 14 at 7:00 p.m.
A privileged, free-spirited young girl tries to adapt to life in a strict boarding school in this charming, critically acclaimed children's fantasy. 10 year-old Sara Crewe has been left in a respected New York City boarding school while her British father heads overseas to fight. Filled with wild stories and a playful attitude, the unconventional Sara becomes popular amongst her classmates but quickly comes into conflict with the harsh headmistress, Miss Minchin, who attempts to quash the child's individuality. The young girl's situation takes a serious turn for the worse when she unexpectedly receives word of her father's death, and, suddenly impoverished, is forced into life as a servant. Treated as a lesser class of person by her former companions, Sara instead befriends her fellow servants and turns to the power of imagination in order to maintain hope for the future.
