Tales from the Arabian Nights
(Performing Arts (Dance, Music, Theatre, ...)) The producers of The Velveteen Rabbit and Harold and the Purple Crayon bring to life Scheherazade, the storyteller heroine, as she tells 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 robbers. An evil sorceress is transformed into a dragon. A prince morphs into a monkey. Through the magic of these stories - told with the evocative music of Rimsky-Korsakov, stunning costumes, masks, puppets, and illusion - the Sultan begins a journey of self-discovery and ultimately finds his true capacity to forgive and to love.
