 012-05-06\n\nAladdin\, Dance Prism's latest original production\, explores
  the exotic world of Scheherazade's tales of One Thousand and One Nights o
 n May 6 at 2:30 at the Performing Arts Center in Littleton. Young audience
  members are invited to meet Aladdin\, the Princess\, the Genie\, and othe
 rs at a complementary reception following the performance.\n\nThe producti
 on follows the impulsive young thief Aladdin from a vibrant Middle Eastern
  bazaar to imprisonment in a far away desert cave to the palace of the Sul
 tan where\, transformed into a Prince by the magic of a powerful Genie\, h
 e weds the beautiful Princess of his dreams. As choreographed by Columbia 
 City Ballet soloist Miranda Bailey and Dance Prism's artistic director Mar
 y Demaso\, the production also features as wedding guests the legendary na
 rrator Scheherazade and characters from others of her tales\, including Si
 nbad the Sailor\, the mermaid Jullanar\, and the beleaguered Man with Thre
 e Wives. Harem dancers\, gypsies\, street vendors\, and Genie-produced app
 aritions complete the cast.\n\nAladdin and the Princess will be played by 
 Dance Prism's Matt Tucker and Caitlin Klinger\, with Jonathan H. Towle as 
 the Genie. In addition to Dance Prism's regular company members\, these pe
 rformances will also feature guest artists from Columbia City Ballet. \n\n
 According to production designer Nancy Bailey\, this is a particularly col
 orful production\, sporting some 220 costumes intended to evoke both the h
 istorical time and culture of the stories as well as the sense of fantasy 
 and magic so central to them. \n\nDance Prism has presented affordable pro
 fessional productions for the communities of New England since its foundin
 g in 1982.\, A classically focused ensemble distinguished both for its tre
 atment of such narrative ballets as The Nutcracker\, Copp&eacute\;lia\, an
 d Alice in Wonderland\, as well as for its abstract works Dance Prism is c
 ommitted to making the spectrum of ballet truly accessible and affordable 
 to area communities. Dance Prism's Massachusetts touring schedule regularl
 y includes appearances in such venues as Worcester's Mechanics Hall\, the 
 Collins Center in Andover\, and the Jackson Arts Center at Bristol Communi
 ty College in Fall River. Audiences of nearly 10\,000 people per year see 
 Dance Prism's acclaimed production of The Nutcracker.\n\nStart time: 2:30
