Breakdown
West-Coast premiere of an imaginative re-telling of the much-loved tale – using only 3 actors!
A clever street urchin called Aladdin falls madly in love with Princess Leilah when they meet by chance at the bazaar. Determined to impress the Princess, he embarks on a search for fortune and instead finds a dingy oil lamp. But this is no ordinary lamp; it houses a magical genie who helps Aladdin masquerade as a grand emir to win Leilah’s hand. Leilah, however, fell for the street urchin, not the grand emir. Frustrated that Aladdin won’t admit who he really is, Leilah gives the lamp to an unscrupulous magician and ends up his prisoner. Now Aladdin must travel across the desert to rescue Leilah by doing the thing that scares him the most...being himself.
This production uses a good deal of audience participation – actors will use the audience to portray other sellers in the marketplace, etc. Actors must be comfortable with and have improvisation skills!
***We are especially looking for Actors of all ethnicities for this production.

[Actress 2: Female 20's-30's]
