Attention all Teachers of Science and Literacy!
 
The Learning Stage is pleased to enhance your Science and Literacy programs for 2010 with a brand new music-theatre production:
 
“The Little Emperor and the Planets”  by Louise Hall
 
Inspired by Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, and the film Avatar, “The Little Emperor and the Planets” is a magical tale about a young emperor and an astronaut who travel together through the solar system.
 
In the tradition of our award-winning sister company, Theatre LOTE Fantastique!  the performance contains delightful characters, stunning costumes, humour, adventure, audience participation and some thought - provoking moments!
“The Little Emperor and the Planets” is a must-see for primary school students from Years 3 to 6, combining original music with an exciting and moving story.
 
SYNOPSIS
Through a strange twist of fate, a young alien emperor from an unknown planet arrives on Earth at the same time as an astronaut called William who has had an accident in his space shuttle.
The two decide to travel together on the astronaut’s next mission through the solar system.  When William develops space sickness, the little emperor must save earth from colliding with a giant asteroid, in fact – his own planet. Which one will he destroy to save the other?
