The Light Princess follows the life of a Princess, cursed by an evil witch to be forever 'light.' We see her grow up, unable to stay on the ground - physically and emotionally, as she floats and laughs her way into adolescence. Finally, she meets a prince, and as he sacrifices himself to save her beloved kingdom's lake, The Light Princess learns what it means to care about something serious. 

The Light Princess had its world premier on April 5, 2017 at the Arden Theatre Company.
