A jealous witch’s spell deprives a baby princess of all her gravity. Now, at seventeen, she’s lighter than air. If someone doesn’t hold her hand she’ll float away. Not only that, she laughs at everything—even sad things. Can the handsome prince ever get her to fall in love?

This show features puppetry, masks, acting, live music, story telling and introduces something new: shadow puppets! We’ve done shadow puppets workshops with kids for years, but this is the first time we’ve used them in a show of our own. If you’ve never seen shadow puppetry before, you’ll be amazed at how effective the sharply defined shapes and brilliant colours can be. Use the instructions in our study guide to make shadow puppets with your class - a fantastic follow-up activity.

Written in 1864 by George MacDonald, a contemporary of Lewis Carroll, this is a funny, touching story about learning to love. With music based on The Lark Ascending, by Vaughn Williams.

Grades K–6. 250 students.

In my opinion, MacDonald does fantasy better than anyone. —C.S. Lewis

Surely, George MacDonald is the granddaddy of us all.—Madeleine L'Engle
