"I have wanted to bring this show to Florida since it was still in the workshop phase", says Montalbano. "The local theatre communities in Florida are incredible, there's nothing like them anywhere else. When I was growing up, those communities were my 'hang out spot', and that time in my life heavily informs the material in The Princess Strikes Back. I am so excited to be back performing in my home state for the first time in 15 years!"
