The Emperor’s New Clothes is an interactive children’s play performed in English for the young, and young at heart!

Bangkok Community Theatre is back onstage in 2022 with a delightful, interactive fairytale production for young children: The Emperor’s New Clothes! 

A multi-national ensemble cast of five performers plus a musician will bring this tale to life on stage at Baan Rim Naam, a breezy, open-air restaurant down by the river in Chinatown.

Bring your little ones to BCT’s wonderfully inventive version of The Emperor’s New Clothes to be performed in English twice daily at 1:30 pm and 4:00 pm on Saturday and Sunday, January 29 & 30, 2022.

Although designed for children 4 to 9 years old, parents will also enjoy this unique type of live theatre which stimulates the imagination and involves the audience in the action throughout. Children are encouraged to come dressed in costume to add to the fun!

Come early to make a simple craft provided by Bangkok Patana School; the children can use the craft to participate in the show (craft is already included in the ticket price.) The ticket also includes a small snack from the venue; however, we hope you will arrive early to eat lunch before the 1:30pm show or stay late to eat supper after the 4pm show to enjoy the delicious family-friendly menu provided by Baan Rim Naam.

With magic and mime, mischief and mayhem, The Emperor’s New Clothes promises to be a memorable family experience. But don’t delay!  Seating is limited, so book early to avoid disappointment.
