London Todd and Shreveport Little Theater Academy perform A Little Princess on Fri, June 27, 6:30 pm and Sat, June 28, at 11 am and 3 pm

Petite teen London Todd has the lead role in the SLTA production of A Little Princess. Having seen her in the recent Centenary College production of In a Bog O Cats, and having watched her play piano for a production of South Pacific at Caddo Magnet HS, I can testify that she is a rising star. Happily, Todd is surrounded by capable players in Princess.
