Coca Presents: The Little Prince

COCA Presents The Little Prince in the Founders’ Theatre March 6-8 and 13-14, 2015. Michael Beatty, an Edwardsville native and professional actor and singer/songwriter in New York, returns to St. Louis to lead the cast as The Aviator in this classic story of the disenchanted pilot who encounters a young prince from a faraway star. St. Louis favorite Michael Harp, known for his recent work in The Addams Family and Billy Elliot at The Muny, plays The Little Prince. This musical play is directed by Shanara Gabrielle, who made her COCA debut with last year’s US premiere of Swallows & Amazons, with musical direction by Charlie Mueller. Incorporating cutting-edge technology in combination with traditional design techniques, The Little Prince is an immersive, theatrical interpretation with whimsical characters and colorful stories that appeal to the castaway in all of us - and shed light on what really matters. This musical play, with book by John Scoullar and music by Rick Cummins, is based on the classic book by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Show times: MAR 6 & 13 | 7:00PM MAR 7 & 14 | 5:00PM MAR 8 | 1:00PM
