Menomonie Theater Guild is proud to present The Little Prince, a stage adaptation of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s timeless novella, directed for MTG by Katie Bovee. The production will take place at the historic Mabel Tainter Theater in Menomonie, Wisconsin, with performances on the weekends of February 21-23 and February 28- March 2, 2025.
After his plane crashes in the Sahara, a pilot is plotting his survival strategy when a little prince with a gleeful spirit appears. Over the course of a week, the prince tells the pilot tales of his intergalactic travels to various planets, Earth included. Each story sheds new light on their philosophical questions until the two unlikely companions find the answers — and their lives — hanging in the balance. Full of whimsy and wonder, this imaginative fairy tale studies the contrast between the innocence of youth and the inevitable realities of adulthood.
Director Katie Bovee brings a fresh perspective to this beloved classic, guiding the cast in a production that is both visually striking and emotionally resonant.
“The Little Prince is a beautiful, universal story that invites audiences of all ages to reflect on what truly matters in life. Our production emphasizes the themes of connection, curiosity, and the innocence of childhood while offering a message that also resonates with adults,” says Bovee.
