Children's Theatre of Knoxville presents this play for children, ages 10 & up, and adults. This production updates Mark Twain's "The Prince & The Pauper" to 1834, on the day before 16-year-old Princess Victoria of Kent is to be crowned Queen.

When the Princess switches clothes with a lookalike poor country girl, the King accidentally locks the wrong girl outside the Palace gates!

Even with the help of the poor girl's father and a clever boy detective, will the Crown of England be placed upon the wrong's girl's head? Acted by 5 children ages 11-15, and aided by three adults, this charming drama teaches history just as it sparkles with the humor of Mark Twain.

May 2 - 16; 7 PM on Fridays, and 1 PM & 4 PM on Saturdays. The play is about 75 minutes long. Performance takes place at The Emporium Center for Arts & Culture (100 South Gay Street, Knoxville, TN, 37902)

Admission is $10 for an adult and child together, and $8 for each additional child, and $6 for each additional adult. For tickets, call 865-599-5284. Made possible through support from UT Surgical Associates.
