“At the opening night performance, Scott Clark plays The Pilot. Clark stands out not just as a narrator but as a figure of undeniable charm. His rugged good looks and quiet strength add an unexpected yet welcome layer to the story. Beyond his appearance, the Pilot's inner beauty shines just as brightly. His kindness toward the Little Prince and his ability to embrace wonder and imagination make him an ideal companion for the story's journey. Yet, one can't help but note how effortlessly his physical charm complements his personality. The Pilot in The Little Prince is a reminder that heroes don't always wear capes—sometimes, they fly planes, sketch sheep, and win hearts with a single smile. Handsome, thoughtful, and deeply human, he's a character who leaves an impression that's as enduring as the story itself.”
