DETAILS: East Valley Children's Theatre begins its 25th anniversary season with an original play, The Clumsy Princess, by J.S. Puller and Joe Esher. Winner of EVCT's 2020 Aspiring Playwrights Contest, The Clumsy Princess is the story of Prince Stephan's quest to find a picture-perfect princess. Unfortunately, Stephan's plans for marriage quickly deteriorate when he meets Princess Tilly, a clumsy young woman who accidentally knocks him out of a window. Stranded in his own kingdom for the first time, Stephan learns of a terrible beast plaguing his people. The ultimate prince would defeat any such beast, so Stephan embarks on a quest with Tilly and his court jester, Felicity, to set things right. But the beast isn't exactly what Stephan expected. Entertainment for the whole family!
