“Minchin’s” is a dark and modern adaptation of the 1905 short story, “A Little Princess,” by Frances Hodgson Burnett, in which Sara Crewe finds herself at the mercy of Miss Minchin, a vindictive boarding school headmistress. It is directed by Jenn Dobby, lecturer in theatre arts. Himmler developed “Minchin’s” as part of her senior capstone project, including three years of drafts and revisions to the text.
