Greetings from Mars - Princeton Summer Theater's Annual Children's Show

Share:

Friday July 6, 2018
11:00 AM

Following last year's successful "Amelia Earhart Forever," Princeton Summer Theater is happy to be presenting another original children's show.

For Mars Peculiarity Rover, life on Mars consists of cataloguing rocks and transmitting back to an Earth that feels further and further away all the time - but everything changes the day a star falls and an alien star-catcher comes chasing after it. This romp through the solar system is a playful exploration of scientific discovery, dogs in space, and how friendships can transform even a lonely red planet.

After each performance, actors will come out to meet with children, sign their programs, and talk about their characters and the play.

Located in the Hamilton Murray Theater on Princeton University's Campus. SHOW DATES 7/6, 7/7, 7/13, 7/14, 7/20, 7/21, 7/27, 7/28 at 11 am
