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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

producer and director Aaron Benson, “I just want the show to be a fun,

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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
