Thanks to special funding by the ASC Culture Blocks Program, Matthews Playhouse of the Performing Arts will present a special FREE outdoor performance of Princess Fearless, a one-act play for young people in Matthews’ Stumptown Park at 11:00 a.m. Saturday, September 24, 2022. The original play, based on the book, “Princess Fearless: Walking to School”, is recommended for children in grades 2-5. Local playwright Lakeetha Blakeney (also known as Keetha B.) is the author of this empowering story that follows fourth grade student Louise “Lou” Miller, a young girl who must overcome her fears of a neighborhood dog. Seating is general admission and is first come, first served.

In addition to the free outdoor performance, Matthews Playhouse will present regular ticketed performances​ of Princess Fearless on stage at the Fullwood Theatre September 23rd - October 2nd. Tickets to these performances range between $10 - $18 per person and can be purchased here.

Weekday performances for school groups will take place September 26, 27, 29, 30 at 9:30 am & 11:30 am.
