Directed by Robert Castro<br />

The West-Coast premiere <strong>of</strong> an imaginative re-telling <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> much-loved<br />

tale! A clever street urchin called Aladdin falls madly for <strong>the</strong> Princess Leilah<br />

when <strong>the</strong>y meet by chance at <strong>the</strong> bazaar. Determined <strong>to</strong> impress <strong>the</strong><br />

Princess, he embarks on a search for fortune and instead finds a dingy oil<br />

lamp. But this is no ordinary lamp; it houses a magical genie who helps<br />

Aladdin masquerade as a grand emir <strong>to</strong> win Leilah’s hand. Leilah, however, fell<br />

for <strong>the</strong> street urchin, not <strong>the</strong> grand emir. Frustrated that Aladdin won’t admit<br />

who he really is, Leilah gives <strong>the</strong> lamp <strong>to</strong> an unscrupulous magician and ends<br />

up his prisoner. Now Aladdin<br />

must travel across <strong>the</strong> desert<br />

raBBIt Hole<br />

By David Lindsay-Abaire<br />

Directed by Kevin Slay<br />

Rabbit Hole is a vivid, hopeful,<br />

honest and unexpectedly witty<br />

portrait <strong>of</strong> a family searching<br />

for what remains possible<br />

in <strong>the</strong> most impossible <strong>of</strong> all<br />

situations.<br />

Becca and Howie Corbett are<br />

returning <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir everyday<br />

existence in <strong>the</strong> wake <strong>of</strong> a<br />

shocking, sudden loss. Just<br />

eight months ago, <strong>the</strong>y were a happy suburban family with<br />

everything <strong>the</strong>y wanted. Now, <strong>the</strong>y are caught in a maze <strong>of</strong><br />

memory, longing, guilt, recrimination, sarcasm and tightly<br />

controlled rage from which <strong>the</strong>y cannot escape. The couple keeps<br />

trying <strong>to</strong> find <strong>the</strong>ir way back <strong>to</strong> a life that still holds <strong>the</strong> potential<br />

for beauty, laughter and happiness. The resulting journey is an<br />

intimate glimpse in<strong>to</strong> two people learning <strong>to</strong> re-engage with<br />

each o<strong>the</strong>r and a world that has been tilted <strong>of</strong>f its axis.<br />

Rabbit Hole, written by David Lindsay-Abaire, received <strong>the</strong><br />

Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2007. Due <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> serious subject<br />

matter, this play is not recommended for young children under<br />

age 12.<br />

Presented in <strong>the</strong> intimate Studio Theatre. Space is limited.<br />
