| Summary: Jewel Phillips just knows she
is a princess. After all, her father is a king! Dressed in a tiara
and feather boa, Jewel sure dresses the part, but tomboys Alex
(Alexandria) and Myra aren't too convinced. They think Jewel is a
bit bonkers, considering her father really works at the local hardware
store--there's no royal palace in sight! But when Princess Olivia
and Princess Gwen show up Jewel thinks she's found her long lost
relatives. Alex and Myra remain skeptical until they learn that they too
may be royalty, much to the dismay of Jewel. Each girl then learns
the true meaning of being a daughter of the "King of
Kings."
While originally intended for a youthful audience, this message has meaning for young and old alike. |

| Excerpt: This is a sample from the middle of the script The Little Princess. Myra:
You are not a princess! Jewel:
Yes, I am! Alex:
Prove it! Jewel:
Everyone who knows my father says he is a king: the people at
church, my teacher, my neighbor and even my parents.
My mom says my father has a crown of glory and that he sits on a
throne. He’s rich! Myra:
I don’t believe it. Jewel:
It’s true! My father
has many mansions, with streets made of gold.
The walls are built with jewels: rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and
pearls! I think that’s why
they named me “Jewel.” Princess
Jewel, to be exact. Alex:
(exasperated) For the last time, you are not a princess! Gwen:
(from off stage) Oh, but she is. Myra:
Who said that? Jewel:
See, I told you. Alex:
(pointing at Jewel) You said that.
How did you do that? Jewel:
Do what? Alex:
Make your voice sound like it was coming from over there. Olivia:
(from off stage) She didn’t do anything, Alex. Myra:
(looking around) What’s going on? Who are you? (Princess Gwen and Princess Olivia enter) Gwen:
I am Princess Gwen. Olivia:
And I am Princess Olivia. Alex:
(rolls her eyes) Oh brother, not more of them! Jewel:
(excited) Are we related? Gwen:
In a way, yes. Jewel:
I knew it! Alex:
(shocked) No way! You
all cannot possibly be… Olivia:
Princesses? I’m
afraid so. Jewel:
(smugly, to Alex and Myra) See, I told you I was royalty! Gwen:
(to Alex) But so are you and Myra. Alex, Myra and Jewel: (simultaneously) Say what? (Alex and Myra are somewhat curiously
excited by this possibility, but Jewel is in a state of utter shock and
disbelief) Jewel:
(shocked) Can you please say that again? Gwen:
Alex and Myra are just as much a princess as you are, Jewel. Jewel:
But they don’t look like princesses!
A princess doesn’t wear blue jeans and go fishing, and they most
certainly do not touch worms! Olivia:
Says who? Jewel:
Says all the storybooks! Myra:
I hate to say this, but I think Jewel is right—Alex and I don’t
fit the part of a princess. Are
you sure you’ve got the right girls? Olivia:
I’m sure. Jewel:
But Princess Olivia, how can that be? Olivia: Let’s all have a seat and I’ll try to explain. |
