Come, help us celebrate the graduation of Care’s Service Dogs and their owners as they prepare to work together forever.

This event is free and open to the public.

Show Synopsis: “Dress for success” is good advice that the Emperor takes whole-heartedly, wanting to impress new friends. But where to stop? When the clothes (and other people’s opinions) become more important than the people of the kingdom, trouble brews. To help their beloved Emperor find the way back to his heart, his true friends create an elaborate “birthday suit” for the Emperor to wear for his birthday parade celebration. The Emperor quickly and humbly learns that sometimes “less is more”!

Registration for this summer’s production will be available starting in May 2026.

Tickets for the show will be available at the door and are $10/per person; children 10 and under free.
