It's almost here!

Can you believe our first field trip is only 11 days away? I can't wait. Our first trip is to the beautiful Tivoli Theatre in Chattanooga, TN. We're seeing the Princess and the Pea. Blue Apple Player’s fanciful version of this popular tale takes place on a distant planet in an uncharted universe. While traveling the universe Princess Eartha finds herself in the middle of a star storm. She seeks shelter with the King and Queen of the Planet Po. Their son, Prince Polaris is immediately smitten with Eartha but the Queen is not. She suspects that she is not really a Princess, and devises a plan to prove that Eartha is a fraud. What will happen? Will Princess Eartha marry the Prince? Or will the mean mother find a way to prevent the marriage? Stay tuned...

After the play, we plan to visit Gilbert Stephenson Park in Ft. Oglethorpe to have lunch.
