Announcing the PRINCESS ACADEMY Book Drive!

Throughout her adventures at the academy, one of the most important lessons that Miri learns is the power and joy of reading. As the words and books come alive around her, she encounters stories and knowledge that have the ability to change her life. In order to celebrate the message of Princess Academy, the cast and crew want to share the gift of reading with those who - like Miri - have little opportunity to have a book of their own.  To help us with our goal, we are creating a mountain of books in the Harris Fine Arts Center (HFAC). We invite you to help our mountain grow by donating your favorite children/YA books (new and gently used please!). Books may be added to the donation bins in the HFAC, the HFAC box office, or the Marriott Center box office. After the show closes, all books will be donated to deserving children in the Provo School District. (Requested reading levels: K-6th grade.) Coming to see the show? Bring a book to the ticket office and receive an additional $2 off one child’s ticket price. (This offer is valid for Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday evening performances only. Excluding previous purchases.) Tickets are going fast! Don't miss your chance to see this beloved story come to life!

Nurturing Seeds and Ourselves

Ever since the beginning of the rehearsal process, director Kris Peterson really wanted the cast to get their hands in the dirt. Like the events of the musical, the earth has a power to connect us to each other, and she recognized that. One way that Charlotte and I thought to do this was to provide a small number of seeds to each cast member and invite them to grow their own plants over the summer. This was also a way to encourage the cast members to stay mentally connected to the show even when they were physically distant from the rehearsal space.

Our Own Secret Garden

The power of healing and growth is a topic not unknown to students at BYU. Educators and learners alike were asked to stretch their capacity to hold both powers in one hand as they were transplanted from their on-campus home in the Harris Fine Arts Center, to the new West Campus building, formerly known as the old Provo High School. The college of fine arts and communication, which includes Theatre, Media, film, Art, and Design departments, had to establish new communities, while major construction projects prevented them from being as close to the rest of campus as they might like to be.
