For Aladdin, it’s not easy to find a magic lamp, but it’s even harder to get a date! It’s a swirling sandstorm of famous Arabian Tales from Ali Baba to Scheherazade, and even Sinbad the Sailor, as Aladdin journeys to find a magic lamp in a Cave of (not-so-great) Wonders. Along his way, Aladdin seeks answers and advice from wise genies, a powerful sultan, and his own mother to find a way to meet the princess. Full of memorable characters, from lost penguins to talking palm trees, this is an adventure worthy of 1,001 laughs.

Hang on to your codpieces! While performing in England last summer, the Reduced Shakespeare Company uncov-ered a manuscript that turned out to be the literary Holy Grail: William Shakespeare’s Long Lost First Play! In this “tale told by idiots,” the Reduced Shakespeare Company weaves all of The Bard’s famous characters, greatest lines, and magnificent speeches into a brand new Shakespear-ean smorgasbord. It is a comic misadventure that will feel strangely familiar yet excitingly new.

Note: In the spirit of Shakespeare himself, RSC shows contain some occasional bawdy language and mild innuendo. All children (and parents) are different, so we’ve chosen to rate our shows PG-13: Pretty Good If You’re Thirteen.

Ticket PricesAll tickets include a $1 per ticket facility surcharge.

PaymentCredit card information for the full amount must accompany each order. Orders are processed upon receipt, and credit cards are charged the day your order is processed. All orders are subject to a $4 handling fee and $1 mail delivery charge.

TicketsDue to fire codes, everyone, including infants, must have a ticket. In consideration of others, do not bring children under the age of three to major shows. There will be no refunds for individual ticket sales. Because touring events occasionally reschedule, programs, artists, and performance dates are subject to change. In the unlikely event of a change of date or cancellation, the change will be announced as early as possible, and an attempt will be made to contact all ticket holders.

Box Office HoursThe Fine Arts Center Box Office is open from 11 a.m.–5 p.m. Monday–Friday. For weekday performances in the main theatre, the box office will remain open from 11 a.m. through the performance. For Saturday and Sunday performances in the main theatre or at the Weber Center for the Performing Arts, the box office will open two hours prior to the first performance and will remain open through the performance. For performances in the black box theatre or recital hall, the box office will open one hour prior to the performance in the lobby of the respective venue.

ExchangesTickets may be exchanged for another performance of the same production. Exchanges must be completed prior to the date of the originally scheduled performance.

Gift CertificatesTickets make great gifts for any occasion. Gift certificates are available year-round in any dollar amount and can be used for any performance.
