(WVLT) - On Tuesday, East Tennessee This Morning's Allison Hunt was live at the Children's Theater in Knoxville, talking about their new twist on an old Mark Twain classic.
Children's Theater of Knoxville is presenting an update on 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 wrongs 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.
The play runs May 2-16; 7 p.m. on Fridays, and 1-4 p.m. on Saturdays. The play is about 75 minutes long, and performance takes place at The Emporium Center for Arts & Culture (100 South Gay Street, Knoxville, TN, 37902).
Admission for the play is $10 for an adult and child together, and $8 for each additional child, and $6 for each additional adult.
