Children’s Playhouse Production…Saraha Nights
It’s a night of family and fun! The Children’s Playhouse Performers show off their skills and humor during this comedy by Wade Bradford. The bored Sultan thinks Sahara Scheherazade is auditioning for the new position of Royal Entertainer, but what she’s really trying to do is get her friend Aladdin out of the dungeon. A quick thinker, she creates captivating stories to gain time. “Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves” becomes “Ali Baba and the Forty-Niners,” with a disgruntled football team as some of the characters. “The Adventures of Sinbad” becomes a Star Trek-inspired spoof with Captain Kork and Mr. Spork, and the “Emperor’s New Clothes” deals with the “king” himself, Elvis, and his advisors, the Beatles. Soon, everyone in the kingdom is enthralled with her tales, but will it be enough to save Aladdin and the other prisoners?
Performances are at 7 p.m. on May, 9, 10, 16 & 17.
Tickets go on sale April 21.
