The Little Prince
Somerset County Performing Arts H.S., New Jersey
May ’07



Conceived and Directed by Andy Arden Reese

"Theater magic!"
Somerset County Teen Arts Festival, 2007

There is a Great Mystery in the universe…

“Nothing in the universe can be the same if somewhere, we do not know where, a sheep that we never saw has – yes or no? - eaten a rose… Is it yes or no? Has the sheep eaten the flower? And you will see how everything changes…”

...from The Little Prince

What is LOVE? It is the essential question at a time when there is so much unbridled hate in the world.

…It is with enormous urgency that we embark on this mission in search of this Great Mystery. It is a matter of greatest consequence of all….

Artistic Director Andy Arden Reese directs an original adaptation of
The Little Prince as part of a yearlong artistic residency with the Somerset County Performing Arts High School. Through an exploration of themes and theatrical composition with the acting students of the Gifted and Talented Program, this production will culminate in a unique expression of this timeless tale as it relates to the world in which we live in the year 2007.
