Speedway Summer Theatre To Present Four Exciting Plays This year, Speedway Summer Theatre will be geared to the younger set. Auditions for the 128 applicants have already begun. Unfortunately, the company must be narrowed to only 100 chosen applicants. After auditioning and casting, rehearsals for the first show, Ali Baba and the Forty Theives, will begun June 12. The first productions of this exciting tale from the Arabian Nights” will be June 22, 23, and 24. The story of Ali Baba is a familiar one. A poor woodsman, Ali Baba discovers the secret treasure-cave of a band of robbers. Unable to keep his good fortune to himself, he reveals it to his jealous brother, Cassim, who decides to visit the cave himself. But Cassim is caught there by the robbers, and swiftly disposed of. The robber Chief, realizing that his cave is discovered, plots to enter Ali Baba’s house by trickery, and kill him. In the nick of time, Ali Baba is saved by the brave and faithful slave-girl, Morgiana. The rest of the season consists of three more charming fairy tales. On July 6,7, and 8, the amusing story of Pegora the Witch Who Wouldn't Be Wicked will be presented. On July 19, 20, 21, and 22, the magnificent Wizard of Oz will be produced. The final show of the season, on July 27, 28, and 29 will be an enchanting Chinese fairy tale called Land of the Dragon.
