The
Little Prince


The Hippodrome is excited to announce this summer’s Family Performance Series Production will be one of the most famous children’s stories in the world, The Little Prince by famed French aviator and novelist Antoine de Saint-Exupery. This new adaptation by Mark Brown and Paul Kiernan will take children and adults to many extraordinary worlds and on many remarkable adventures.

No story is more beloved by children and grown-ups alike than this wise, enchanting fable. One day, the author reminisces, when his plane was forced down in the Sahara a thousand miles from help, he encountered a most extraordinary small person. “If you please,” said the stranger, “draw me a sheep.” And thus begins the remarkable history of the Little Prince.

The Little Prince lived alone on a tiny planet no larger than a house. He owned three volcanoes, two active and one extinct. He also owned a flower, unlike any flower in all the galaxy, of great beauty and of inordinate pride. It was this pride that ruined the serenity of the Little Prince’s world and started him on the interplanetary travels that brought him to Earth, where he learned finally, from a fox, the secret of what is really important in life.

There are a few stories that in some way, in some degree, change the world forever for their readers. This is one.

The Little Prince is an engaging tale of love and friendship for the entire family. Please join us for this very special production. Showtimes for The Little Prince are:
