Thanks to special funding by the ASC Culture Blocks Program, Matthews Playhouse of the Performing Arts will present a special FREE outdoor performance of Princess Fearless, a one-act play for young people in Matthews’ Stumptown Park at 11:00 a.m. Saturday, September 24, 2022. The original play, based on the book, “Princess Fearless: Walking to School”, is recommended for children in grades 2-5. Local playwright Lakeetha Blakeney (also known as Keetha B.) is the author of this empowering story that follows fourth grade student Louise “Lou” Miller, a young girl who must overcome her fears of a neighborhood dog. Seating is general admission and is first come, first served.
In addition to the free outdoor performance, Matthews Playhouse will present regular ticketed performances of Princess Fearless on stage at the Fullwood Theatre September 23rd - October 2nd. Tickets to these performances range between $10 - $18 per person and can be purchased here.
Weekday performances for school groups will take place September 26, 27, 29, 30 at 9:30 am & 11:30 am. Financial assistance for Title 1 Schools is available from the Matthews Playhouse Sponsor-A-Student Fund.
