Aladdin & Other Enchanting Tales by Enchantment Theater Company

Thursday, February 20, 2014 at 7 PM

A giant genie, princesses and wizards abound in the marvelous tales ofScheherazade, the storyteller heroine of Aladdin and Other Enchanting Tales. She tells her tales to heal her Sultan and save his kingdom: Aladdin discovers a genie's lamp in a hidden cave; Sinbad sails to distant lands where he battles giants and rescues an enchanted bird; Ali Baba and his brave servant girl outwit the robbers. Through the magic of the stories the Sultan makes a journey of self-discovery, experiencing the kindness of strangers, the triumph of good over evil and the power of a loving relationship to bring new possibilities. He becomes the hero of each tale, ultimately discovering his true capacity to forgive and to love.

Set to the evocative music of Rimsky-Korsakov, with stunning costumes, masks, puppets, illusion and pantomime, Enchantment Theatre Company brings these captivating tales to life as never seen before: An evil sorceress is transformed into a dragon; a huge genie rises out of a golden lamp; a prince morphs into a monkey. Just as Scheherazade transforms her Sultan, she will enchant the hearts of your audience with humor, magic, romance and adventure. Come join us on a fantastic journey into the wondrous world of Aladdin and Other Enchanting Tales

The Big Read

We and our project partners are excited to invite our community to join in "The Big Read" kicking off this month and continuing into March. Our focus book, Thornton Wilder's "The Bridge of San Luis Rey" is a great American classic
which won Wilder his first Pulitzer Prize in 1928. Since it's first printing in 1927, the book has NEVER been out of print! The story is well written, immersing us into Peruvian culture and creating fascinating character studies--all in a fairly short read.

"The Big Read" is a grant program established by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA)
in 2006 in response to studies reflecting the sad rapid decline of reading in America.
The program was developed to provide organizations with the means to develop community
wide reading programs. Through the focus on one book, we can encourage community
reading, discussion and participation amongst diverse audiences. From this we can all
come together to learn about the worlds encompassed in one story, and hopefully encourage
a renewed interest in reading.
