ABOUT THE SHOW
The story revolves around young Sara Crewe, who would rather stay with her dear father in India than leave for Miss Minchin’s boarding school in grim, bustling London. But her father insists she receive an English education so, using her books and her imagination, she is quickly able to win friends and make the best of things. When her fate takes a disastrous turn, will her vibrant inner life be enough to sustain her through tragedy and hardship? In this heartfelt, faithful adaptation of the beloved novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, one girl’s goodwill and courage show what being a princess truly means. A Little Princess is one of the most beloved children’s novels of all time and this production, featuring young performers in SLO REP’s ACT educational program, is a perfect show for families with young children.
