Missoula Children’s Theatre and a cast of local youth present “The Emperor’s New Clothes.”
“Dress for success” is good advice that the Emperor takes whole-heartedly, wanting to impress the Kings & Queens of the Elemental Kingdoms. But where to stop? When the clothes (and other people’s opinions) become more important than the people of the kingdom, trouble brews. The Royal Scholars & Royal Artisans try to help their beloved Emperor find the way back to his heart, but the Money Council led by Manypenny want to keep the Emperor’s new obsession growing. When the loyal Silkworms are kicked out of the castle, it becomes clear that the Emperor needs to learn a lesson. With all of the Elemental Kingdoms gathered, it’s time for a royal parade!
The performances will be November 7th at the Sawdust Theatre (120 N Adams, Coquille) at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m.
The Emperor’s New Clothes is a part of the Missoula Children’s Theatre’s unique international touring project and residency that is presented in Coquille by the CREATE Youth Center of Coquille. For more information contact: Dr. Nancy Keller 541-290-8479 or e-mail is best drnancykeller@yahoo.com.
