Aladdin and his Magic Lamp
Saturday, December 14 at the Empty Space Theatre in Fremont (Seattle, WA)
Two shows, 1pm and 3pm.
This “traditional English pantomime,” produced and performed by members of the Freemont Players, is silly, at times down-right stupid.... And it’s all a hell of a lot of fun! The classic Arabian fairy tale is re-told with a live band, cue cards for the audience, and an overall atmosphere of jovial involvement... Arguments break out between the audience and actors, and members of the audience are brought onstage to participate... the vibrant costumes, bizarre transformations, and guy next to you who keeps screaming at the Wizard will certainly wake you up. -Travis Senger

What a fun, silly, shout-at-the-actors, laugh-out-loud experience!

Lots of fun with truly classic, time-tested gags and audience participation.

Campy fun well-done with great music and several excellent performers. Kids will enjoy the spectacle (mine ages 3 & 5 did) but you probably need to be 6+ to follow most of the plot, and an adult to appreciate most of the humor.

A most excellent performance! Thanks for having the audience participate in the show. It's the first play that I've been to in ages, and it makes me want to see more plays!
