Children’s Performance Plays Jan. 26-28, Feb. 2-4
Travel to the farthest reaches of old Arabia to a time of magical genies and song as the College of Southern Marylands Childrens Theater presents Abracadabra Aladdin, Jan. 26-28 and Feb. 2-4.
What would you do if you found a magical lamp? Would you use it for good or would you try to control the world? Set in Arabia, Abracadabra Aladdin is the story of Aladdin, a young man of mischief who desires to marry the beautiful Princess Jasmine if only he can stop the evil Jammal from ruining his plans.
Abracadabra Aladdin was written by playwright Tim Kelly, who published more than 300 plays before his sudden death in 1998. With a musical score and lyrics by Pam Hughes, Abracadabra Aladdin is a joyous musical adventure filled with magical wonders for the whole family.
