One Grain of Rice

SteppingStone Theatre
55 Victoria Street North St. Paul

Math and music take center stage in One Grain of Rice, a world-premiere Bollywood-style folk tale featuring a prince who hoards all of his land's rice during a famine. Proving that she can outsmart the prince with her brains, a young girl devises a brilliant way to feed the people: She convinces him to give her one grain of rice one day, and then double the amount each day for 30 days. Bring the whole family to this musical tale of greed, ingenuity and math at St. Paul's SteppingStone Theatre -- and watch as the prince discovers he's in over his head!
