Novelist Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was living in the United States when he learned that his home country, France, had fallen to Germany in World War II. After hearing the news, Exupéry found himself in a world full of fear, isolation, and shame; a world not too unfamiliar to many of us today. Exupéry’s devastation led him to tell his own fable of war and conflict in a novel, The Little Prince. This international story has captured the hearts of many adults and children alike on stage and film, opera and dance. This adaptation by John Scoullar and Rick Cummins has given life to this timeless tale. Larger than life characters like The King, The Conceited Man, and The Business Man, a Fox and a Snake teach the The Little Prince how to love, embrace adventure and say goodbye.

Directed by Tracy Manning with Choreography by Taylor Alumna Suzie Quinn.

Taylor Theatre provides an immersive experience for audiences and participants by pursuing excellence on and off the stage, embracing difficulty and asking questions in pursuit of truth.
