The Little Prince @ The Players' Ring
The Players’ Ring Theatre in downtown Portsmouth presents the magical family production The Little Prince on Saturday, April 4, with performances at 10:30 AM and 3:30 PM.
This imaginative adaptation by Rick Cummins and John Scoullar, based on the beloved book by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, is directed by Allison McCall and brought to the Ring by The Children’s Museum & Theatre of Maine.
When a pilot crash-lands in the desert, he meets a mysterious young traveler from a tiny asteroid. Together, they journey through a universe of curious grown-ups, a clever Fox, a proud Rose, and a world where imagination leads the way. Filled with wonder, humor, and heart, The Little Prince invites audiences of all ages to see the world through fresh eyes and remember that what truly matters is invisible to the eye.
Perfect for families and dreamers of every generation, this tender and whimsical production blends storytelling, adventure, and a timeless message about friendship, love, and curiosity.
Both performances will be followed by a meet-and-greet with the artists.
