Players of the Stage presents “The Prince and the Pauper,” Mark Twain’s hilarious yet poignant tale of a commoner and a real-life prince who trade places for a short time. Performances are Dec. 4, 5, 6, 11, 12 and 13 at 7 p.m. and Dec. 6 and 13 at 2 p.m. at Living Hope Church, 330 Schantz Road, Allentown, Pa. There is no charge for tickets, but an offering will be taken for the Allentown Rescue Mission.

Players of the Stage is a Christian youth and community theater that has been presenting quality family theater in the Lehigh Valley since 2000.

During the past seven seasons alone, POTS has donated more than $100,000 to the Allentown Rescue Mission, Care Net of the Lehigh Valley and the American Ministries to the Deaf.

Players of the Stage hopes to raise $15,000 for the Allentown Rescue Mission in offerings collected at its “Prince and the Pauper” performances.
