Long ago, far away, there was a young girl who may or may not have been the lost princess Anastasia. It was a rumor, a legend that people desperately wanted to believe, a hope for some good in a weak and weary world. We all want to believe there was a time when we were good, and that those happy times from the Land of Yesterday will return. We do what we can to keep our sanity and faith in people. And sometimes, those dreams come true. This is a show about losing and finding; hiding and seeking; and at long last, claiming our lives for ourselves. It’s romantic, exciting, and uplifting. Thanks for joining us on this journey into the past, as we cross bridges and continents to find our destiny!
