'The Young King' Explores Materialism Through Immersive Children’s Theater

Immersive theater has long been all the rage for adults, but at Mile Square Theatre’s production of The Young King, kids get to step into the story.

Originally written by Oscar Wilde and adapted for young audiences by Australian playwright Niki Bloom, The Young King is an exploration of materialism and the real price paid for luxury goods—performed with shadow play, puppets, and audience interaction.
