The Emperor's New Clothes

book and lyrics by LYNN AHRENS
music by STEPHEN FLAHERTY
directed and choreographed by
​ILYSE ROBBINS

Dates below!

Theatre for the young (and the young at heart!) returns with our Second Company show!

Marcus the Third is too young to take the throne, and he’s nervous. What better way to feel the part than to dress the part? While his royal clothiers make him a stylin’ new wardrobe, someone else has a plan that could ruin everything – or make Marcus the person he was meant to be.

This fun-for-all-ages family show boasts a book and score by the Tony Award-winning team of Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, known for such hits as Seussical, Once on This Island, and Ragtime. 

The perfect piece for the young (and the young at heart!), this fabulous show will be on our new, and already beloved, outdoor Elsewhere Stage.

Should we need to cancel a performance due to rain or inclement weather, we will do our best to accommodate you into a future performance of the show in question.
