Kaleidoscope Theatre actors Andrew Faria and Kaela Bergeron are set to play the mischievous tailors in ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes.’
The award-winning Kaleidoscope Theatre is set to present a musical adaptation of The Emperor’s New Clothes.
In a delightful adaptation of the Hans Christian Andersen classic, audiences meet an emperor who is all about fashion. When two swindling tailors, Wilhelm and Lucinda, come along and tell him that the fine new clothes they have for made him are invisible to those who are stupid or incompetent, he pretends that his suit is indeed glorious — much to the chagrin of his minions, who are afraid to tell him the truth.
Several members of the audience will be selected to join in the merriment. One youngster will become a star as he/she assists in saving the tailors from the wrath of the emperor.
The Rhode Island-based Kaleidoscope Theatre has made Kelsey Theatre one of the regular stops for its traveling company; the troupe earned rave reviews for its production of Heidi in the fall.
Performances are scheduled for 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. at Kelsey Theatre, located on Mercer County Community College’s West Windsor campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road.
Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for children and seniors.
