“Welcome to Agrabah, City of Enchantment, where every beggar has a story and every camel has a tail!”

Excelsior Middle School, in cooperation with the volunteer Parents of the Arts Club, presents the mini-musical “Aladdin, Jr.” beginning Wednesday, Sept. 14.

Directed by Kathy Tickner and Dana Lee, the stage adaptation of the Disney hit “Aladdin” involves more than 100 participants and features the story’s favorite characters: Aladdin, Jasmine and, of course, the Genie. Filled with magic, mayhem and flying carpet rides – plus an Academy Award winning score featuring “A Whole New World,” “Arabian Nights” and “A Friend Like Me” – the production is guaranteed to make audiences’ spirits soar.

Performances of “Aladdin, Jr.” take place at Excelsior Middle School, 14301 Byron Highway in Byron, Sept. 14, 15, 16, 22 and 23 at 7 p.m.; Sept. 17 at noon and 4 p.m.; and Sept. 24 at noon. Tickets ($7) will be sold at the door.
