LNT’s professional directing & design team leads the production.
LNT’s The Little Prince is the brainchild of quadruple talent Taryn Noelle and our founding artistic director and resident playwright Kim Allen Bent.
Ms. Noelle (an actor-dancer-choreographer-singer, who choreographed and starred in LNT’s Hairspray and Cabaret) says of The Little Prince:
-
“I am so excited to get to work on our own telling of this beautiful and poignant tale, that speaks to the hearts and memories of adults as much as it does to those of children.”
The ensemble of The Little Prince features students working with Lost Nation Theater for the first time along those who are returning for their 3rd, 4th, or even 5th camp production with LNT. 
The ensemble of Alara Kohn, Amanda Gurley, Amelia Friot, Avery Burke, Eleanor Andersen, Eliza Redmond, Ella Averbeck, Flora Esteban, Juliana Gurley, Lucy Gaines, Lydia Durand, Riley LeFevre, Selah Northrup, and Violet Rodgers, assisted by their behind the scenes peers Makenna Lund and Peter Ellis, embody humans, animals, mystical characters and everything from planets, to wind and flowers, to tell this moving tale.
They are supported in their quest by Lost Nation Theater’s crackerjack professional team of directors and designers. In addition to the work of Ms. Noelle, and Mr. Bent, the show features original music by Kathleen Keenan, and scenic & lighting design by Natasha Troop, costuming by Mary Dobbins, Technical Direction by Robyn Osiecki, and teaching assistance from Brandy Perez.
Designer Troop offers:
- “I have a clear memory of my father reading The Little Prince to me when I was 3 or 4. It was the first book I truly adored. I am certain the book influenced my choice to pursue a life in the theatre - which celebrates whimsy and wonder and the importance of never growing up so much that we are blind to what the snake had for dinner."
