Here’s a perfect Savannah holiday show for the whole family.

The Collective Face Theatre Ensemble presents

THE LITTLE PRINCE
By Rick Cummins and John Scoullar
Adapted from the novella by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Shows are at Muse Arts Warehouse, 703 Louisville, Savannah Georgia 31415. Click here for driving directions.

Directed and designed by
David I.L. Poole, artistic director for The Collective Face

The Collective Face Theatre Ensemble continues its third season with an adaptation of the beloved classic novella THE LITTLE PRINCE by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, adapted for the stage by Rick Cummins and John Scoular.

Stranded, thirsty and alone, a pilot who crash-landed in the Sahara Desert meets an enigmatic, charismatic young prince fallen from the sky who regales him with tales of life among the stars: tales with earthly importance. This delightful adaptation of this classic tale leaves us all with a new understanding of how to laugh, cry and love again.

The Collective Face production features ensemble members Christopher Blair, Zach Blaylock, Eric Salles and Vanessa Stipkovits, with guest artist JinHi Soucy Rand.

Tickets: $20 general admission; $15 seniors/students/military

Showtimes

Dec. 19 and 20 (Fridays and Saturdays) at 8pm
Dec. 21 (Sunday matinees) at 3pm
