Theatre MSU presents "The Light Princess"
“When a princess is cursed with a lack of gravity, it seems the worst that can happen is that she might float around. But the curse goes deeper than that, for the Light Princess can’t feel, can’t empathize—and never, ever cries. Full of action, adventure, witches and duels, swimming and soaring…this innovative adaptation of George MacDonald’s classic fairy tale is sure to lift your spirits,” according to a YouthPLAYS description.
