Christmas For A Little Princess Cherokee Civic Theatre Rusk Texas

MENU ☰

Assisatant Director - Peter Roby
Producer - Judy Faye Garner

Inspired by the children's book, "A Little Princess" by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Playwright & Director, Sheilah O'Heaney has taken the classic story and given it a "Texas twist" of a little girl overcoming adversity.

"Christmas for A Little Princess" is the heartwarming story of Sara Crewe, whose adventuring father places her in an elite girls’ school in Galveston – but disappears while in South America. Sara is clever and imaginative but even her upbeat attitude is sorely tried by her sudden change from ‘princess’ to pauper. Aided by true & loyal friends – with some mischievous next-door neighbors - Sara bravely endures her new life and hopes for a Christmas miracle: to be reunited with her dear papa. The story takes place in a girls' school in 1890s Galveston, Texas and spans a time period of over 4 years.

Meet some of our characters:
*Lavinia - a "mean girl" before we coined that phrase
*Jessie - Lavinia's minion

*Ermengarde - Sara's best friend
*Lottie - youngest girl in the school, prone to throwing tantrums to get her way
