Hear Ye, Hear Ye!

DVJC presents The Princess and the Porcupine, written by Ed Monk and directed by Melanie R.

Princess Perfect - the most beautifulest princess in the whole wide world - must be married, as her subjects are fed up with her expensive tastes. To win her hand, a courageous knight must defeat the dreaded Two-Headed Monster of Bad Stuff, and steal the Ruby it is protecting. Three valiant souls quickly put their lives on the line: Sir Jun the Brave, Sir Prize the Wise ... and Bob the Porcupine. Does a blue-collar porcupine have a sliver of a chance against such a deadly monster? And what will happen to the Princess if he does?

PERFORMANCES ARE AT

Friday, April 5TH @ 7pm AND Saturday April 6TH @ 2pm & 7pm
Tickets are $7.00
