A.C.T. Presents: “The Prince and the Pauper” Mark Twain’s classic tale comes to life onstage! When the Prince of Wales sees poor Tom Canty mistreated by one of his guards, the prince suggests they exchange clothing for fun — in Tom’s rags, the prince looks like a “peacock fell in the mud ’n’ froze” while Tom claims the royal regalia is so heavy it’s “like to break me back.” But the fun and games soon become harsh reality. Wearing each other’s shoes (literally), the boys discover what it’s like “on the other side,” and it doesn’t take long for each of them to appreciate the life they always knew. Instructor: Calyssa and Cassidy Hall
