Messalonskee High School Players

Original adaptation of The Arabian Nights

The Messalonskee High School Players will perform an original adaptation of The Arabian Nights, a colorful collection of tales told by the brave queen Scheherazade to King Shahryar, a violent king who vows to execute her on the morning after their marriage. With each night comes a new story, and with each new story comes a new day full of life and happiness for Scheherazade and Shahryar and their kingdom. Come see tales of love, adventure, and magic from all over the globe, and see a colorful array of characters ranging from animals and kings to a genie and a valiant princess! There will be live music, dancing, and even a bit of poetry!

Show dates are March 10th and 11th (Thursday and Friday), at 7 pm and Saturday at 2 pm and the Messalonskee High School Performing Arts Center. Tickets are $3.00 for students and seniors and $5.00 for adults. If you see the Friday show, come early and get a delicious dinner at the Empty Bowls Supper, and a part of your ticket price will be donated to our local food pantry.
