So lovely. Funny, heartwarming, thoughtful, sad, painful, refreshing. I wish everyone I know (and don’t know) would come and see this show! Only a couple more weekends left. Www.Sackerson.org #thelittleprinceslc
“‘What makes the desert beautiful’, said the little prince, ‘is that somewhere it hides a well...’”
Think you might be all alone Saturday night? Come join us at #TheLittlePrinceSLC. We'll be friends.
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.”
"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly." The Little Prince opens in Black Friday. Join me?
Behind the scenes look at the sackerson_co show The Little Prince. It's been such a great show to work on as the costume designer. The cast & crew are really top-notch. Show opens tonight and runs until dec. 23rd
“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.” Cast portraits of sackerson_co play The little prince. It was a wonderful experience being able to be the work on this show as the costume designer. 👑 🦊 🌹 🐍 📷: ashleythalmanphoto
Reminiscing about Little Prince with sackerson_co! What an amazing experience. PC: ashleythalmanphoto | Costume: doris_marquez_ #whatisessential #littleprinceslc #snake #rose #theater #actress #801theatre #slctheater
#thelittleprinceslc sackerson_co So delightful. Such a beautiful human story.
I’ve seen theatre in New York, London, Scotland, Los Angeles, Shanghai, Beijing, and a few other places too. So it’s safe to say I’ve got a bit of experience with theatre- if you read my posts and don’t go to the theatre then COME SEE THIS SHOW. It’s for you. It’s for your kids. It’s for anyone who was a child. Don’t go see some Christmas pageant or waste money on some stupid light show or family movie night. Get online, get a group together, and experience childhood again with The Little Prince. #slc #sackerson #theater #littleprinceslc
THIS WEEKEND! The Little Prince - A pilot stranded in the desert meets a young prince visiting Earth from a tiny asteroid. The story is philosophical and includes social criticism of the world of adults. The show is very kid friendly and very impressive to regular theater-goers. Tickets are available at sackerson.org and at the door.
This shot is terrible but the #littleprinceslc was not. Go see amyware19 and the crew, they're fantastic!
Such an incredible weekend full of some AMAZINGLY INSPIRING PERFORMANCES and some of my most FAVORITE people on the planet🧡🎨💯😻 #thelittleprinceslc #thebodyguardmusical #intothewoods #utahtheatre #ecclestheater #artfactory #byuarts #besties #brenandzo #joeandzoe #benpluszoe #thebodyguardwasprettyterriblebutwestillhadthebesttime
The Little Prince was lovely. Touching. Funny. Magical. Beautiful... no wonder this show was selling out and sackerson_co had to add more performances! Wait list it tonight if you can. I got in off the wait list this afternoon! #thelittleprinceslc JH
Waiting for #thelittleprinceslc Pizza tin stage lighting!
Once, I crashed my airplane in the desert and met a strange little man from another planet. (Or, at least, that's the plot of #TheLittlePrinceSLC.) You should come see it--only four showings left!
I'm an Aviator!
The little prince is back this weekend! If you aren’t doing anything tonight, then grab a friend and get some tickets- you will not regret it! #thelittleprinceslc #theatre #slctheatre #slc #thelittleprince #childrenstheatre #fun

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
