This past weekend, the Dodd Drama club performed the musical Aladdin Jr. Aladdin Jr. is a musical that is about an Arabian princess named Jasmine that is arranged to marry a prince in the next day. Of course she is unhappy about this, and is reluctant to choose from the three rich princes her father has approved of. The day before she must choose she runs away to the marketplace of Agrabah and meets a  poor “street-rat” named Aladdin and begins to fall in love with him. When he gets arrested and thrown in a cave, he discovers a genie in a lamp, that begins to turn Aladdin’s world upside down.

The cast, that has been working hard at rehearsals everyday for over three months, was a big hit in their three shows on Friday, March 23rd and Saturday, March 24th. Julia Torok, who played Jasmine said “The turnout was so overwhelming, to be honest, I was really nervous.” Which seemed to be what all of the performers moods were that weekend. Wishing luck to the performers in their futures, and thanks for tuning in!
