The Franklin Civic Operetta Association Youth Theatre reaches a milestone of 20 years this month with its production of “Aladdin and His Wonderful Magical Lamp.”

This is not the Disney version of Aladdin, but is taken from the stories of Scheherazade (played by Abbigail McCain of Franklin).

The audience is invited to climb aboard a flying carpet to visit the excit-ing city of Shammar in Old Arabia. There they will meet the adventurous Aladdin, played by Kyel Harry of Franklin, and his mischievous monkey, Alakazam, played by Abby Tassone of Franklin.

Aladdin’s mother and sisters are at their wit’s end trying to get Aladdin to settle down. It’s not easy, especially with merchants and neighbors complaining about Aladdin’s tricks. One day Aladdin meets the beautiful Princess Jasmine,

played by Aoife Salusky of Clarion, and her friends Zara and Sheba, who are in the streets in disguise. Aladdin vows he will marry her.

Aladdin, however, is visited by an evil magician, Jemma, and her wicked sister, Halima. They know that only a boy named Aladdin can enter the mysterious cave, which houses a strange lamp con-taining a genie who will grant Jemma all the power she craves.

Tricking Jemma, Aladdin claims the magic lamp for himself and with its power, wins the princess and impresses the Sultan by building a beautiful palace.

But Jemma isn’t through with her evil ways. She regains possession of the lamp, kidnaps Jasmine and magically transports Aladdin’s new palace to the shores of Morocco. Aladdin, in his attempt to save Jasmine, must face Chop-Chop, the executioner and, of course, regain possession of the lamp.

The finale sees Aladdin and Jasmine reunited and Jemma transformed into a new person.

The play features not one but three genies, the whining Ali Bubba and his umbrella, the fire-breathing dragon, the haughty Sultan’s wife, Queen Sultana, and the Sultan’s Assistants. The show’s ensemble is made up of many magicians,

palace attendants and townspeople.This musical fantasy is suitable for

audiences of all ages. The show will be presented today at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday at 2 p.m. The cost of tickets ranges from $10-14. Tickets may be purchased by calling the Barrow-Civic Theatre at 437-3440 or visiting www.barrowtheatre.com.

Artist applications are now available online for the 14th annual Art in the Wilds show in Kane.

The outdoor, juried fine arts event will be held in Evergreen Park on Saturday, June 27 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and

Sunday, June 28 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.Forty artists are accepted through a

blind-jury process. Fine arts including acrylics, oils, watercolors, drawings and limited high-quality prints and high-quality fine crafts including leather,

glass, wood, jewelry, pottery, fiber arts, sculpture and photography are accepted. The application deadline is March 1.

A Friday night artist reception is catered by the Westline Inn and free breakfasts across a street from the park at the local Elks Club are provided on Saturday and Sunday.

Volunteers are on site to provide booth sitting, answer questions and help with set up and take down. Artists also have the advantage of easy in and out loading and free parking close at hand for the Friday set-up. Artist awards, low space fees and inexpensive accommodations make the show affordable. A twenty-four-hour security team makes an already safe atmosphere even safer and the park is air-conditioned by nature!

Artist satisfaction is a priority with the organizers of the Art in the Wilds. The artist satisfaction rate last year was a whopping 9.7 on a 10-point scale with sales averaging $1,490 per artist.

Food vendors are available, but the art is always the focus of the family-friendly event. A six-county high school student art exhibition encourages the future sus-tainability of the show by honoring and

giving students experience in ways to use their artistic creativity.

It will be Alumni Weekend in Kane. All high school classes celebrate at the same time every five years, providing a large crowd of buyers from all over the country.

Extensive advertising includes 30,000 show programs which are distributed in area newspapers along with radio, news-paper and travel guide ads, rack card and poster distribution and social media including Facebook and Instagram.

Funding is received from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and the Kane Community Development Foundation, along with corporate and individual sponsorships all of which are all used in advertising and promotion to bring patrons to buy art.

People may go to www.artinthewilds.org to learn more, to fill out the applica-tion and submit fees.

A participating artist recently wrote, “Just a quick note to let you know how happy we were to participate in your show. The quality of the other exhibitors was exceptional and so was the way we were treated by everyone associated with it.”

The doors will open at 5 p.m., dinner will be served at 6 p.m, and the show will begin at 7:30 p.m.

The cost of tickets is $25. They may be purchased by calling the Barrow-Civic Theatre at 437-3440.
