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 />
