Emil and the Detectives

The Wallis has made the difficult but important decision to cancel or postpone all productions through May 31, 2020, including Emil and the Detectives. If you are a current ticket holder for this production, our Ticket Services office will be reaching out to you directly to discuss options available to you for your already-purchased tickets.

Never underestimate the determination of a child! Young Emil catches a train to visit family in the big city. Something valuable is stolen, but the thief soon discovers Emil was not such an easy target. A group of quick-thinking and resourceful children rally around. Can a bunch of kids work together to uncover and outsmart the true criminal? In Slingsby’s award-winning signature style, Emil and The Detectives is told by two skilled actors immersed in smoke and mirrors, miniature worlds, and a cinematic score.
 
Recommended for adults and children ages 8+.

Running Time: One hour with no intermission.
