‘The Little Prince’ Friday through Sunday September 23^rd – 25^th
The Albans Arts Center proudly presents “The Little Prince”.  The Little Prince may have returned to his own tiny planet to tend his Rose and look after his Sheep, but for a short, enchanted time he returns to us and comes alive on stage. This play tells the story of a world-weary and disenchanted Aviator whose sputtering plane strands him in the Sahara Desert and a mysterious, regal “little man” who appears and asks him to “Please, sir, draw me a sheep.” During their two weeks together in the desert, the Little Prince tells the Aviator about his adventures through the galaxy, how he met the Lamplighter and the Businessman and the Geographer, and about his strained relationship with a very special flower on his own tiny planet. For showtimes and admission go to www.onthestage.tickets. Also, this Saturday there will be a Special Outdoor Matinee at Slack Plaza in Downtown Charleston at 1:00pm.
