 A giant genie, princesses and wizards abound in the marvelous tales of Scheherazade, the storyteller heroine of "Aladdin and Other Enchanting Tales." She tells her tales of Aladdin and a genie's lamp, Sinbad and the enchanted bird, and Ali Baba outwitting the thieves. Set to the mesmerizing music of Rimsky-Korsakov, with stunning costumes, masks, puppets, illusion and pantomime, Scheherazade will captivate the audience with humor, magic, romance and adventure.

Recommended for ages 5 and up, these classic stories take the audience on a fantastic journey into the wondrous world of "Aladdin and Other Enchanting Tales."

A downloadable study guide is available at www.artpark.net to bring the fun into the classroom before and after attending the performance.
