Written by LifeHouse founder and president Wayne R. Scott, this timeless Arabian tale of a young man discovering the importance of doing what is right bursts onto the stage with hilarious fun and outrageous hijinks.  With Inland Theatre League Awards for music and lyrics, Aladdin features the silly Genie of the Lamp and a rousing battle between good and evil that leaves audiences cheering.
