Project X Theatre Presents Theatre Under The Trees 2025 - The Emperor's New Threads

The always-fashionable Emperor is in desperate need of a new outfit to wear to the Royal Procession and has absolutely no idea what to do! Enter Felix Saggenbottom and Cornelius Phibbs, two down-on-their-luck tricksters who promise that they will make a look so incredible that only those who are "good at their jobs" can see it. Wanting to impress, the whole town pretends to see what isn't there - everyone, that is, except one very smart kid.

This very silly story won awards across Canada on it's premiere tour. Our production will be directed by local comedy duo Robin Nichol* and Jessica Buchanan.
