Play: The Arabian Nights, A poetic fable by Mary Zimmerman


Directed by Paul Fillingim
King Shahryar marries, loves, then kills, a young woman each night – until he encounters Scheherazade. To save her life, she entertains the King with tales of love, lust, hilarity, and sorrow for a thousand and one nights. Her ancient tales magically transform the stage from a king’s bedroom in Baghdad through markets, harems, courts, and a crowded privy, and from heights of hilarity to sobering affirmations of shared humanity.
October 21 – November 13, Thursdays @ 7:30pm, Saturdays @ 8pm, Sundays @ 2:30pm (no show October 31st).
$18 – General Admission, $16 Seniors/Military/JCC Members, $12 Students/Groups of 10+
(210) 302-6835 for reservations
