KU student's work opens children's theater
The children's theater series will open this year with an operatic adaptation by a KU student
Kay Bethea, director of the production, adapted the play "A Little Princess" from the book by Francis Hodgkins Burnett. Written in 1888, the book is the
true story of a young orphan girl who later finds herself the heiress of diamond mines in India.
Miss Bethea, a Baton Rouge, La., graduate student, said the idea originated three years ago when she was taking a children's theater course under Jed Davis,
head of the children's theater department. He suggested to the class that this book would make an interesting children's play.
A play had been done around the turn of the century, but Miss Bethea, who is specializing in children's theater, has written
her own adaption and an original libretto. Familiar with the theater department, Miss Bethea has been the musical director for eight shows in past years, two of which toured Europe.
The opera will present matinees for children in the Lawrence School District Nov. 21 and 22. KU audiences may see it at 8:20 p.m. Nov. 22 and 23.
"A Little Princess" will also be presented at the Music Hall in Kansas City.
