Aladdin’s Luck
September 23–October 30, 2011
By Janet Stanford with music by Fahir Atakoglu | Directed by Kathryn Chase Bryer
A clever street urchin called Aladdin falls madly for the Princess Leilah when they meet by chance at the bazaar. Determined to impress the Princess, he embarks on a search for fortune and instead finds a dingy oil lamp. But this is no ordinary lamp; it houses a magical genie who helps Aladdin masquerade as a grand emir to win Leilah’s hand. Leilah, however, fell for the street urchin, not the grand emir. Frustrated that Aladdin won’t admit who he really is, Leilah gives the lamp to an unscrupulous magician and ends up his prisoner. Now Aladdin must travel across the desert to rescue Leilah by doing the thing that scares him the most...being himself. Recommended for Ages 4+ Tickets>>

He sends his son to the Old School to become a real boy by mastering style, originality, and swagger. Unfortunately, P.Nokio is tempted by The Way of Fun and Trouble, gets in with a bad crowd, and is swept up in a tangle of lies that endanger his newfound father. To save G.Petto, P.Nokio must wise up, keep it real, and learn that words and truth are the mightiest weapons of all.. Recommended for Ages 4+ Tickets>>
Rapunzel
April 4–May 20, 2012
Book and Lyrics by David Crane and Marta Kauffman | Music by Michael Skloff | Directed by Kathryn Chase Bryer
Rapunzel is a typical 16-year-old girl, with a couple small exceptions: she was stolen from her real parents by a wicked witch who pretends to be her mother, and her home is a high-security tower in the middle of nowhere. She’s content, and as far as she knows, hers is a great life...if a little boring. Excitement finds Rapunzel when the charming and handsome Prince Brian stumbles upon her remote abode, and she realizes how much she has been missing! Brian dodges the witch to visit his new friend regularly, and the two plot an escape. But the witch is crafty and casts a spell that sets the young couple on a difficult journey to happily ever after. Recommended for Ages 4+ Tickets>>

June 20–Aug 12, 2012
Libretto and Lyrics by Janet Stanford | Choreography by Septime Webre & David Palmer | Music composed by Matthew Pierce | Directed by Janet Stanford

Told through a dazzling fusion of dance, acting and puppetry, our story begins in wartime Britain when Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter are sent off to the countryside to avoid the Blitz. Homesick and restless, the siblings find themselves at odds with one another until Lucy discovers a magical wardrobe that leads them into the fantastical world of Narnia. There, the four become embroiled in an epic battle between the evil forces of the White Witch and her arch nemesis, the great lion Aslan.
