ACO Families: The Princess, The Pea (and The Brave Escapee)


  • ACO On The Pier - The Neilson (map)

There is the fairytale you know and love… but what isn’t known is why our brave princess was out in the middle of a storm, in the middle of a night, at the end of an adventure. This is that story.

“A magically beautiful story and show, warming the heart as we see a heroine save marine life and live her life the way she wants.” – Theatre Travels

“A wonderful mix of drama, adventure, great storytelling, puppetry, and beautiful music by the talented quartet. The children were very engaged”. – Busy City Kids
