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.” • Cast portraits for the sackerson_co production of “The Little Prince” showing in SLC until December 23rd.

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
Shawn Francis Saunders is The Fox 🦊 #TheLittlePrinceSLC #UtahTheatre
She might be sitting off to the side, but Brooke Bollick is an integral part of #thelittleprinceslc. 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.

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.
I said goodbye to The Fox today. It was a dream come true to play this part and to do this show with all my best friends. #friendshipsavestheworld #TheLittlePrinceSLC #genewilderforever 📷: ashleythalmanphoto
