The Little Prince, which was written by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, and adapted into play form by Rick Cummins and John Scoullar, will be presented at West Virginia Wesleyan College's Jenkins Arena Theatre on Saturday, March 23, and Sunday, March 24, at 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m.

The Little Prince is a classic tale that is cherished by both young and old alike. It is a magical story of how a fallen aviator pilot, stranded in the desert, meets a mysterious little prince and learns lessons about life, by learning that "what is essential is invisible to the eye."

Antoine de Saint-Exupery wrote The Little Prince in 1943, and it was the third most widely read book of the twentieth century, after the Bible and the Koran. Originally written in French, its message of peace and hope still continues to inspire children and adults alike, and has been translated into more than a hundred languages.

Wesleyan's cast under the direction of Bess Park Reynolds includes: Daniel Geske, Rocky Gettel, Alberta Haught, Jason Jackson, LeAnne Mangano, Whitey Mitchell, Rick Morgan, John Pelham, Caitlin Rexrode, Amber Rizor, Christina Whinnery, and Amanda Yonas.

Admission is $4 for adults, $2 for children and seniors, and $1 for Wesleyan students with a valid ID. To reserve tickets, or for more information, please call the Wesleyan Theatre Box Office at: 304-473-8037.

The concert is free and open to the public.
