Professional Theater for Children presents "The Emperor's New Clothes," a theatrical presentation by Stages Productions, at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 17 at the Cypress Bay Theater, 18600 Vista Park Blvd.

When the emperor hears of a magical new material that is invisible to anyone not good enough to see it, he demands the tailor make him a new suit. Join the crafty swindlers, the bumbling emperor and the entire court as they learn the cost of conceit.

Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door.

Tickets are available in advance at the Weston Community Center or at the Cypress Bay box office one hour prior to the show. Call 954-389-4321.
