DISNEY’S ALADDIN JR. HITS THE STAGE ON MAY 18 AND 19

There’s a part for every student in the school, and a laugh, smile and sense of wonder for everyone in the audience. Carpinteria Family School will present Disney’s Aladdin Jr. at Carpinteria Middle School Auditorium on Friday, May 18 at 6 p.m. and Saturday, May 19 at 4 p.m.

The spectacular 60-minute musical is based on the 1992 Disney film and the 2014 Broadway adaptation. Every CFS child from cute-as-can-be kindergartners to the 5th-grade A-list actors has bonded and grown over a semester spent perfecting their dramatic performance.

“Watching it all come together is truly amazing,” said Jan Silk, CFS 2nd and 3rd grade teacher. “Laezer Schlomowitz, our director, is such a pro and his gift for getting all the students to invest themselves into this show and perform is what will make it so special to see on stage.”

Aladdin Jr. follows the legendary tale of the lovable thief with the heart of gold! Join Aladdin, Jasmine, and the fast-talking, wisecracking Genie as they discover mystical caves, take magic carpet rides, and outwit the evil sorcerer, Jafar. All the memorable musical hits such as “Friend Like Me,” “A Whole New World,” and “Prince Ali” come to life as sung by the budding actors. With new, colorful characters and nonstop adventure, Aladdin JR. is sure to be a crowd-pleaser for all ages!
