Performances are Wednesdays through Saturdays at noon with an additional
show at 5 p.m. on Saturdays. Tickets include the cost of admission and light
snacks with an interactive family theater workshop led by the cast following
each matinee performance. Note - there are no workshops following the 5 p.m.

Tickets are $5 for kids and for students under 25; $5 for CSU faculty, staff
and alumni; $5 for seniors 65+; and $10 general admission for adults. Group
rates for groups of five kids or more are $4 for kids and $8 general
admission for adult chaperones.

 

The Factory Theatre is located on East 24th Street, between Chester and
Payne avenues.

 

The Emperor's New Clothes is based on the Hans Christian Andersen story
about an emperor who cares about nothing but his appearance and fashion.
When he hires two weavers to create a new royal garment for him, they
present him with a suit that is "invisible to those who are unfit for their
positions, stupid or incompetent." What the weavers have really done is
create nothing but a tale, leading the emperor to parade around the kingdom
in nothing but his ego.

 

According to producer and director Aaron Benson, "I just want the show to be
a fun, colorful, zany adventure for all ages. We're bringing in the next
generation of audiences and performers, showing them how exciting and
engaging live theater can be. We're teaching them not about passively
watching something like TV or a movie, but about interacting and feeling the
joy of live theater." The show will include vibrant storytelling, lots of
laughs and even some dancing.

 

The Emperor's New Clothes features CSU students and community members.
Keeping the lights on in the CSU Factory Theatre this summer, the program
will provide jobs for as many as 20 people in the performing arts in
Cleveland at a time when many students flee the city for summer vacations or
summer stock employment elsewhere. The Little Vikings Children's Theatre
company members will get the full experience of acting, set-building,
costuming, ushering, marketing and leading workshops this summer.
