A heart-warming play sprinkled with dance and comedy re-tells a magical story with a multi-ethnic cast and the message that we all have the power to summon our very own genie.
Aly & The Genie is a modern retelling of the Arabian tale of Aladdin and the Jinn. The plot centers on Aly, a street-smart young woman who is rescued and adopted by Jamie, a disabled veteran. After foiling the kidnap of Erik, heir to a multi-million dollar tech company, Aly is recruited to procure an ancient artifact that results in a fast-paced adventure, taking her from a deserted tunnel to the grand ball, with a whimsical Genie for a sidekick.
A magical tale, where ambitions collide with empathy, this entertaining drama will have you questioning, what price would you pay for 3 wishes?
And the power we each hold within ourselves.
