Audition Notice: The Little Prince

afO is pleased to announce auditions for their 2022-2023 season opener, The Little Prince, a well-known tale by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, adapted by Rick Cummins and John Scoullar.

This play tells the story of a world-weary man whose sputtering plane strands him in the desert, and a mysterious, regal “little man” who appears and asks him to “…draw me a sheep.” The two adventure together as the Prince tells about his adventures through the galaxy. The insights he gains from those he meets is shared with the man: “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly.”
