The audience first spies a cartoonish market scene washed in delicious rainbow sherbet colors. Since “Aladdin” is based on a Middle Eastern tale from the “Arabian Nights,” […]

Waterworks Players to Present Aladdin
You may think you know the story of Aladdin, a tale of a street rat who is granted three wishes from a Genie of the Lamp. But this year’s holiday pantomime production of Aladdin by Waterworks Players makes a delightfully different take on a children’s yarn popularized by Disney. As a beloved form of theatre in the […]

Auditions Set for Aladdin

Review of “Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None”
Walking into the Waterworks playhouse I was mesmerized by the extraordinary set, designed by Moffat Evans, that lay situated in the middle of a semi-circle of theatre style seating. It was not difficult to put yourself in the 1940’s living room of a secluded island manor off the coast of England. Everything was strategically placed, […]
