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! It’s not just her imagination. Her friend Stephanie saw it, too... Suffering the teasing of her brother and his friends, Emily and Stephanie 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.

What will happen when Emily has all her friends over for a sleepover to try to capture Murray? 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.

Directors Joshua Gross and Sean Finley bring this entertaining story to life at the Riverfront Theater. People learn that not all monsters are scary they are just misunderstood. Anyone who dresses in a costume will be entered in a drawing to win a ticket to an upcoming Children's Dessert Theater production.
