The Little Prince tames the Fox. “But if you tame me, it will be as if the sun came to shine on my life. I shall know the sound of a step that will be different from all the others. Other steps send me hurrying back underneath the ground. Yours will call me, like music, out of my burrow.”
Tonight is SOLD OUT

“Just because I’m gone, doesn’t mean I’ve gone away.” || I trudged through the Sahara for the last time this evening. All good things must come to an end. Like other projects, I’ll always keep a piece of “The Little Prince” in my heart.

In regards to the music in the play, Brooke says, “though not everyone can play or recognize a minor chord, even children know what it means when they hear it. Music can create an ambiance that makes storytelling more digestible and potent. Also, it’s fun and pretty.” See her and hear her playing this weekend and through December. Tix sackerson.org

Discussing the process of creating The Little Prince, Graham says, “my favorite part has been how the actors have been so game for some very tricky physical demands, and how they have approached it in physically intelligent ways.” •
Graham Brown is a dance theatre artist, and is an Assistant Professor at BYU. His work SONDER performed at the beginning of this year in SLC. •
