ALADDIN

Adapted by Michael McGill

Music and Lyrics by Michael McGill

For Aladdin it’s not easy to find a magic lamp but it’s even harder to get a date! It’s a swirling sandstorm of famous Arabian Tales from Ali Baba to Scheherazade, and even Sinbad the Sailor, as Aladdin journeys to find a magic lamp in a Cave of (not-so-great) Wonders. Along his way Aladdin seeks answers and advice from wise Genies, a powerful Sultan, and his own Mother to find a way to meet the Princess. However, even with the lamp in hand, Aladdin will have to learn that it takes more than a wish to make a good impression. Full of memorable characters, from lost Penguins to talking Palm Trees, this is an adventure worthy of 1,001 laughs.

Preregistration is required!

Cost: $100 per student (scholarship opportunities are available — contact Niccole at niccole@fairfieldacc.com BEFORE paying)

ALADDIN

Adapted by Michael McGill

Music and Lyrics by Michael McGill

For Aladdin it’s not easy to find a magic lamp but it’s even harder to get a date! It’s a swirling sandstorm of famous Arabian Tales from Ali Baba to Scheherazade, and even Sinbad the Sailor, as Aladdin journeys to find a magic lamp in a Cave of (not-so-great) Wonders. Along his way Aladdin seeks answers and advice from wise Genies, a powerful Sultan, and his own Mother to find a way to meet the Princess. However, even with the lamp in hand, Aladdin will have to learn that it takes more than a wish to make a good impression. Full of memorable characters, from lost Penguins to talking Palm Trees, this is an adventure worthy of 1,001 laughs.

Preregistration is required!

Cost: $100 per student (scholarship opportunities are available — contact Niccole at niccole@fairfieldacc.com BEFORE paying)

Does your student want to participate both weeks? Pay full price enrollment ($100) for Aladdin and a discounted rate of $75 for Rapunzel when participating both weeks.

Rapunzel

Adapted by Michael McGill

Music and Lyrics by Michael McGill

Would it surprise you to know that the story of Rapunzel happened in France? Well, it didn’t really, but our story takes you on a frivolous frolic through the French countryside. The Ogres garden in the Mushroom patch while the Corn and Potato spies report back to Madame Gothel. Frenchy and his intense friends, the Wood Elves, do their best to help Rapunzel escape the grasp of Madame Gothel. The lost Prince, Rapunzel’s parents, and her friends the Unicorns try to help. Just when you think it’s safe to cross the bridge, a Troll and Three Billy Goats Gruff get in the way. It doesn’t help that the Three Bears (or is it four) confuse Rapunzel with Goldilocks and chase her through the forest. Add to that the Gremlins trying to play tricks on everyone, and you have chaos! Well, it’s not that bad because the Pixies foil the Gremlins’ plans most of the time. In short, Rapunzel and all the rest of the characters tell a silly tale of personal triumph and friendship.

Goblin Market

Bring your trinkets, treasures and found objects to trade!  Goblin Market traders can trade trinkets for trinkets - not trinkets for dollars.  Barter, banter and trade to you hearts content.  Bring your trinkets and find a spot on one of the many tables,  check out other trader's treasures, and find a treasure or two to take home!  Please be fair when offering trades as all trades are final.  

This Goblin Market is a special extra magical market-with summery treats, “The Riddler” will be on hand and you will find treasures galore! Can you stump “The Riddler” take a riddle and solve it for a special trinket or bring your own riddle to try and stump “The Riddler”
