What's up in Lansing: 'The Princess Who Saved Herself' and more

Posted

Good day and Happy Thanksgiving!

“There was a castle by a waterfall/with a pink and purple wall/ with a princess living there,” opens “The Princess Who Saved Herself,” a 2010 song by singer/songwriter and geek culture icon Jonathan Coulton.

Coulton’s song, which tells the story of an unconventional young heroine and the clever ways she handles angry dragons and evil witches, comes to the stage this weekend at Riverwalk Theatre thanks to local playwright and actor Edric Haleen. Read more about the play in this City Pulse article.
