The Princess Adventure Debuts at Christel DeHaan Stage

The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis Debuts The Princess Adventure for Holiday Season

Families visiting The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis between November 27, 2026, and January 3, 2027, can catch The Princess Adventure, a 45-minute theatrical production staged on the museum’s Christel DeHaan stage. Written by Ben Asaykwee, the production centers on three traditional royals who receive an unexpected guest at their royal gathering.

The story kicks off when Edwina, an unconventional princess hailing from a different kingdom, crashes a tea party. She does not fit the standard mold of her peers. However, the plot shifts when an enemy army targets their kingdoms, forcing Edwina to step up, demonstrate her true value, and teach the group what it means to be a hero.
