CLOTA Presents Auditions for “The Little Prince”

Making her CLOTA directorial debut, Devanne Fredette will be holding auditions for the international classic, “The Little Prince,” by Rick Cummins and John Scoullar based on the novella by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. “The Little Prince may have returned to his own tiny planet to tend his Rose and look after his Sheep, but for a short enchanted time he returns to us and comes alive on stage. This play tells the story of a world-weary and disenchanted Aviator whose sputtering plane strands him in the Sahara Desert and a mysterious, regal ‘little man’ who appears and asks him to ‘Please, sir, draw me a sheep.’ During their two weeks together in the desert, the Little Prince tells the Aviator about his adventures through the galaxy, how he met the Lamplighter and the Businessman and the Geographer, and about his strained relationship with a very special flower on his own tiny planet. The Little Prince talks to everyone he meets: a garden of roses, the Snake and a Fox who wishes to be tamed. From each he gains a unique insight which he shares with the Aviator: ‘It is only with the heart that one can see rightly.’ ‘What is essential is invisible to the eye.’ At length, both the ‘little man’ and the Aviator must go home—each with a new understanding of how to laugh, cry, and love again.” (Dramatic Publishing Company)

Auditions for “The Little Prince” will be held on Friday, April 24 and Saturday, April 25, 2026 from 4 to 6 p.m. at CLOTA Center Stage (1425 N Inyo St.). Show dates are July 10, 11, 17, 18, 24, 25 at 7:30 p.m. and July 19 at 2 p.m. We encourage all actors of any skill level to perform. All performers must be aged 8 or older, and performers under eighteen must have a parent/guardian present at every rehearsal. Auditions will read selections from the original script followed by a puppeteering audition. You don't need prior puppeteering or acting experience to audition. If you are unable to attend an audition date, but are still interested in auditioning, you can schedule an outside audition. You can also message the director via Facebook or email at [email protected]. Any further comments, questions, or concerns please contact the CLOTA Board at [email protected] or call 760-446-2411.

Last night we had a small but fabulous audience at Life With Father. I feel very fortunate to have gotten as many folks to see the show as we did since the Fair Grounds also had a Bee Gees Tribute Band. As a Bee Gees fan, myself, I can see how it must have a difficult choice for a lot of people.

But never fear, Life With Father still has 5 more shows!

Be sure to get your tickets at Redrock Books, at CLOTA.org, and at the door.
