Monster in the Closet

Barn Lot Theater, Kentucky

Rated G for all audiences

Directed by Vivien Worthen-Powell

Emily has a big problem. Not only is she sent to bed just as she reaches the highest level of her new video game, but there’s a monster in her closet, and it’s not just her imagination. Her friend Stephanie saw it, too! Suffering the teasing of her brother and his friends, the girls recruit some of their own friends to help capture the monster. What they don’t know is that Murray, the closet monster, doesn’t mean any harm; he only wants to play Emily’s new video game. He’s too scared of kids to even think about trying to frighten them! Murray’s bosses, the Dream King and Wanda, have put Murray on probation for goofing off on the job. After all, when a child is born, a monster is assigned to watch over them, not to play with their toys and especially not to get caught in the act! When Emily has her friends over to capture Murray, they wind up trapping the Dream King and his secretary, Toady, instead. With other wonderfully entertaining characters like Sandy the Sandman and his dream weavers, the solution to Emily’s monster problem brings humor, a bit of ingenuity, and a little magic to this charming and delightful family show.
