From the Director’s chair: Good Luck My first question when approaching a play is “what can we learn?” So what can we learn from Disney’s adaptation of this fun Valleau Boys - and familiar tale? Stories give us a unique opportunity to live vicariously through the lives of complex and exceptional Tristan, Ben & Alex characters, stories transport us to faraway places to teach us lessons that hit close to home. Aladdin, his Genie and Princess Nana & Grandad Jasmine are transformed by the fantastical events in the play. Aladdin learns that money can't solve his problems, Genie learns the true value of friendship and Princess Jasmine is faced with the harsh reality of life outside of the palace walls. Most importantly,

this cast of characters have FUN!; despite what seem like We are so proud of you , Lilly! insurmountable circumstances they goof around with their Love Mommy and Daddy friends and, in true Disney fashion, they lift each other up with a – Break a Leg snappy song and dance number. It's impossible to deny the very trying times in which we live, so for the time you're here, let us be your friend, let us lift you up with a snappy song and dance number, let us transport you to a beautiful, imaginary place where wishes DO come true. And let's have some FUN! With love, Break a leg, Rubin!! Leah Love Mom, Dad, Popaw & Granny Sue
