The clever street urchin Aladdin falls madly for the Princess Leilah when they meet by chance at the bazaar. Determined to impress her, he embarks on a search for fortune and instead finds a dingy oil lamp. But this is no ordinary lamp; it houses a magical genie who helps Aladdin masquerade as a grand emir to win the Princesses’ hand. Leilah, however, fell for the street urchin, not the grand emir. Frustrated that Aladdin won’t admit who he really is, she gives the lamp to an unscrupulous magician and ends up his prisoner. Aladdin must travel across the desert to rescue her by doing the thing that scares him the most … being himself. Written by Janet Stanford, this wonderful play with music is perfect for all ages.

Soar this summer on the spectacular rides at Kennywood Amusement Park, where you'll find amazing attractions for all ages. For thrill-seekers, the park's roller coasters include the super-speedy Phantom's Revenge, the stratospheric Sky Rocket and The Thunderbolt, dubbed the "Ultimate Roller Coaster" and "King of Coasters" by "The New York Times". Cool off on water rides like the splashy Pittsburg Plunge or get your hackles raised by darker fare such as Garfield's Nightmare or the creepy Ghostwood Estate haunted house. Your little ones will love kiddie rides like the Elephant Parade and the pint-sized Lil' Phantom roller coaster, and there are tons of great places to eat when you need to refuel. New in 2019 are Steelers Country, a one-of-a-kind themed land that puts Pittsburgh Steelers fans front and center with merchandise, games and record-breaking roller coaster The Steel Curtain; and Thomas Town, where young conductors and their families can experience thrills with Thomas, Cranky, Harold, Flynn, and Diesel, along with live shows featuring Sir Topham Hatt and some of his Really Useful Engines! The sky is quite literally the limit this summer at Kennywood. [less-]
