The Emperor's New Clothes

When clever con artists Flo and Roscoe arrive in a kingdom obsessed with fashion, they spot the perfect mark – a style-obsessed Emperor. Claiming to weave magical cloth invisible to fools, they set the kingdom spinning with excitement and anxiety. No one dares admit they can’t see the clothes until the Emperor’s grand reveal leaves the crowd howling with laughter. A witty, timeless tale about vanity, deception, and the courage to speak the truth.

“[Mason’s version of] Andersen’s timeless story does something more pointed than speak truth to power; it speaks truth to the powerless in a democracy frequently intimidated by a credentialed few…. kids who are captivated by live theater at such an early age will have witnessed a performance of this profound fable so fast-paced and ornately produced, they’ll carry a tiny insurrectionist kernel with them into adulthood.” - Dallas Observer
