Chicago Shakespeare Theater Presents THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHES 6/30-8/29
By: Gabrielle Sierra Mar. 31, 2010
Chicago Shakespeare Theater (CST) Family programming kicks off the 2010/11 season this summer with the world premiere of Alan Schmuckler and David Holstein's The Emperor's New Clothes directed by Rachel Rockwell, a CST-commissioned musical adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's classic story. In this fast-paced, stylish musical, the Emperor and his daughter Sam can't seem to get along, but with the help of some colorful characters and not so colorful threads, the two come to see themselves-and each other-for who they really are.
