State University Theatre & Dance presents The Little Prince | Brookings

State University Theatre & Dance is thrilled to present The Little Prince, by Aaron Randolph III with Daniel Rairden-Hale, Amelia Fischer, Aaron Hook, and Zachary Lawson, based on the children’s book by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. The Little Prince recounts a pilot’s experience in the Sahara Desert, where she was stranded after a plane crash, and meets our little prince. The tale unfolds as the little prince describes his friends, life, and the magic among the stars: stories of earthly importance for all ages.

CENTRAL:

Pierre Players Presents “Ordinary Days” | Pierre

From one of musical theatre’s most exciting new composers comes “Ordinary Days,” a refreshingly honest and funny musical about making real connections in the city that never sleeps (but probably should at some point). “Ordinary Day” tells the story of four young New Yorkers whose lives intersect as they search for fulfillment, happiness, love and cabs. Through a score of vibrant and memorable songs, their experiences ring startlingly true to life. “Ordinary Days” is an original musical for anyone who’s ever struggled to appreciate the simple things in a complex place.
