Welcome to Agrabah, City of Enchantment, where every beggar has a story and every camel has a tail! All of your favorite characters are here in this stage adaptation of the Disney hit, including Aladdin, Jasmine, and of course, the Genie. Filled with magic, mayhem, and flying carpet rides, audiences' spirits will soar with excitement. Most of all, the tuneful, Academy award-winning score with songs including "A Whole New World" and "Friend Like Me" will certainly make this musical a favorite for many years to come!

This traditional re-telling of Dickens' timeless classic will come alive on stage using traditional carols of the season. Three spirits take the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge on a journey through his life where he learns the true meaning of Christmas and life. Humor is the key to this interpretation of Scrooge--not jolly, but snide humor. Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol is a great story for all ages and an enjoyable production. StageLight Production (ages 8-18). Rehearsals are Tuesdays in Highlands Ranch.

Is Ever After really as happy as everyone expected? In a hilarious parody of daytime TV, host Sally Lizzie Jesse Donatello-Griffin (or Monterey Jack Chesterfield Williamson—you pick the gender) wonders if time truly heals all wounds. She invites Cinderella and her middle-aged “beauty-impaired” stepsisters to reconcile with each other after being estranged for 20 years. What about Snow White and the Evil Queen? This hysterical fractured fairy tale has it all: a trash-talking clairvoyant mirror, an unfortunate prince who is turning slowly back into a frog and even Jiminy Cricket—now an occupational therapist and author of the book My Life as Your Conscience. The musical is punctuated by questions from obnoxious studio audience members and ridiculously funny infomercials for fairy tale related products, such as the Practical Princess Crown (which doubles as a purse and makeup case). Get ready for some knee-slapping and hand-clapping with great foot-tapping songs like "Beauty Impaired" and "Dainty Do-Gooder!" StageLight Production (ages 8-18). Rehearsals are Thursdays in SW Littleton.

The Circus is in town and there's excitement in the air! But wait — the Ringmaster has come down with a case of laryngitis and they need to find a substitute, fast! Join the clowns, jugglers, dancing bears, lions and a host of other hilarious performers as they help one very sad clown smile again. NightLight Production (ages 5-7). Rehearsals are Thursdays in SW Littleton.
