Winter Session

Christian Performance Theatre (CPT) is excited for our Winter session! Students ages 8-18 have the opportunity to become fully immersed in music theater by enrolling in our Enrollment Show/Class, Aladdin Jr. The 5-7 year olds will join together for Our Gang. Classes meet weekly throughout the winter session on Thursday evenings. During the last week of class, 2 high-energy showcases are presented to show what they have learned for their friends and family.

CPT PERSPECTIVE FOR ALADDIN JR.

Aladdin Jr. is full of fun songs, a little romance, a bit of hero and villain activity and a Genie! What more could you ask for, right? Well, we're story tellers and there's no greater theme to intertwine into our life story than His Word. So what does Aladdin Jr. have within it that we can see God moving within the story? Oh, I'm so glad you asked...

This is a story filled with characters that are trapped (and there could be a spoiler alert needed if you don't know the tale). Aladdin is trapped in the social system. He's a 'street rat', stealing and using his charisma to get what he needs to survive in the city of Agrabah. Princess Jasmine is also trapped in her social construct of who she will marry, her chosen position in the world and her life that is destined to be lived within the walls of Agrabah. We also have the Genie. Trapped in a lamp to do the bidding of whomever gives him the temporary relief of his cramped quarters. No other purpose in life than to grant three wishes to the usually greedy and selfish person that is allowed this very special life opportunity.

Our show verse is 1 Tim 6:6-7:

6 But godliness with contentment is great gain, 7 for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world.

We will be talking with our cast about the trap of sin. There are many opportunities to show how selfishness leads to destruction and how selflessness and contentment leads to freedom. Within the context of our story, we will sing, dance, laugh, and learn about what it means to stay focused on God and allow Him to lead us through our life journey.

Grab your magic carpet and let's take a trip to Agrabah together knowing that there's 'A Whole New World' out there to be explored!

Enrollment Show Class

aladdin jr.

Ages 8-18

Instructors: Dean Owens, Tucker Tasker, Grace Owens

Aladdin and his three friends, Babkak, Omar, and Kassim, are down on their luck until Aladdin discovers a magic lamp and the Genie who has the power to grant three wishes. Wanting to earn the respect of the princess, Jasmine, Aladdin embarks on an adventure that will test his will and his moral character.

Enrollment Show Classes are designed to give a taste of the production experience. Auditions will be held at the first class to determine roles. Acting, singing, and choreography are taught weekly. Though much less commitment than a full production, parents and families of the cast are encouraged to get involved with sets, costumes, backstage, or any number of departments that bring the experience together. Students enrolled in the class are automatically cast in the show.
Class Size: Minimum 40/Maximum 75
This class is full. Email office@cptheatre.org to be placed on a waiting list.
