Carter Family’s newest production draws on the ancient culture of Persia – it’s music, miniature paintings, costumes and dance to create a beautiful and magical world.

The event is Sept. 1, 2 p.m., Lopez Community Center (outdoors, weather permitting). Tickets are available at Blossoms, Islands Bookstore and at the door.

Carved hand and rod puppets and painted backdrops combine with the Carter’s signature style of adventure, fantasy and humor to create a show that will interest all ages, while exposing them to Middle East culture.

The exotic beauty and magic of this beloved Persian tale come to life with hand-carved puppets, beautiful scenery and special effects and plenty of laughs.  Will Aladdin and the Princess, with the help of the Genie of the Lamp,  be able to outwit the evil plots of the Sorcerer?
