Production: The King’s New Clothes by Kevin Holmstrom Bradshaw – a Purple Door Youth Theater TOURING production for student actors in grades 2-12. 
Summary of the Show: This is a delightful, funny re-telling of the Hans Christian Anderson story. The King has a splendid new suit — the Queen and all their subjects agree. The problem? Not even he can see it. The King’s New Clothes is a funny and fast-paced parable about pride, delusion and human nature.
