Mary Elizabeth Donovan Steinhaus is from Milton. Steinhaus is a junior at Brenau majoring in musical theater. She worked in recruitment for the WonderQuest show "The Frog Prince." She is a graduate of Milton High School in Milton.

Based on the story by the Brothers' Grimm and written by Brenau theater professor Gay H. Hammond, the play takes place in a fiery land of anywhen, a place where magical spells, fairy godmothers and spare princesses abound. A frog meets a royal scientist – that is, an unassuming prince meets a scientific princess. Through the trials of dueling suitors, spells gone awry and broken promises, these two learn that while magic can bring you together, only true loyalty can bring you love. Filled with Latin flair and hilarious characters, the play is a new spin on the classic fairy tale.
