The Emperor's New Clothes / El Traje Nuevo Del Emperador

Description

A vain Emperor almost bankrupts his kingdom by feeding his obsession for lavish clothes. When some rogues disguised as weavers offer to supply the king with a magnificent wardrobe the King is intrigued. Their beautiful colors and elaborate patterns, they state, are invisible only to those who are either incompetent or stupid. The King and his entire court pretend to see the non-existent clothes to avoid looking foolish until an innocent child steps up to proclaim the real truth.  This humor-filled, Spanish infused Learning Theater production, reminds us that one should never pretend to believe something just to follow the crowd and… it takes courage to speak the truth.
