The story you know and love has been given the royal treatment! 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.

Waukegan Public Schools’ Fine Arts Department is excited to announce the ninth production in our district-wide theater opportunity for students in Kindergarten through 8th grade.

It's not just entertainment. Theater is key to more creative, more communicative, healthier kids.

At its core, the theater requires imagination, empathy, listening, focus and teamwork, all of which greatly benefit children struggling to control their active minds or express themselves. Theater classes and participation in plays and musicals provide a foundation for students to gain social skills and express themselves.

During the spring of 2024, WPS launched the Waukegan Performance Arts Company, or WAUK-PAC, which aims to produce theater performances featuring students from District 60’s elementary and middle schools. We are so excited to present the group's ninth musical theater production… Aladdin Jr.
