Monday,
July 14th is Make-A-Wish® Monday!

In
the faraway Arabian city of Agrabah, a young street urchin named Aladdin meets the
beautiful and feisty Princess Jasmine.

a mysterious lamp and awakens an enchanting genie who grants him three wishes.  Audiences will be captivated as they watch
Aladdin set off on an incredible journey of magic and mayhem.  The FVR Youth Ensemble will feature the hit
