Celebrating 12 years of service to the youth of the greater Skagit Valley region.

The Emperor's New Clothes is the Hans Christian Anderson Classic adapted for the stage by Karen Boettcher-Tate and presented to local audiences in April of 2001. It's the ages old tale of the kingdom of Glump and its egotistical ruler who is fooled by two con men into wearing a garment made with magical cloth that can only be seen by people worthy of high position...A hilarious scenario, indeed.
