"That’s one of the most fabolous things I’ve ever heard or seen." (Astrid, age 85)

In a land without TikTok or public shaming, a boy is tricked into believing he’s only valuable if he’s strong and wealthy—and if he always laughs at his foster father’s silly jokes. But in a locked nursery, a picture hangs that tells a different story: the boy is a prince, loved from the very first heartbeat.

Let The Slave Prince guide you into the Advent season—a new Christmas tale performed for the sixth year in a row. We call it a concert on its way to becoming a musical, featuring soloists, choir, and orchestra. “… for dreams can lift me and carry me to the sky…”
