Get To Know Princess Ten Ten at geekOUTucr

PRINCESS TEN TEN AND THE DARK SKIES: A New Musical
The creators of Princess Ten Ten, a gender non-conforming Princess, will speak at geekOUTucr, a free queer comic-con on Saturday, February 17, 2018 at the University of California, Riverside. Chari Arespacochaga, Director of Creative Development for the Guardian Princesses, answers our questions about Princess Ten Ten.

Who is Princess Ten Ten?
Princess Ten Ten is one of the Guardian Princesses. She is Pan Asian and as she grows up, she tries to find who she truly is in the face of her kingdom’s traditions and expectations of a princess. In embracing who she is, she finds her voice and discovers that she is the Guardian of the Skies. She manages to save her kingdom from the fatal effects of air pollution.

Tell us more about the musical.

The musical is called PRINCESS TEN TEN AND THE DARK SKIES: A New Musical. In it we journey with Ten Ten as she does indeed find her voice and save our skies. This is an adaptation based on the storybook written by Prof. Setsu Shigematsu and the Guardian Princess Alliance. I am the musical’s creative director. Our book writer is Maggie Herskowitz and our composer is Jillie Mae Eddy.
