And, since the Singers had such a good time with Broadway music at their spring concert series, Lena has included Christmas numbers from the Great White Way.

Ali Baba lives with his mother and their servant, Salma, on the Saanich Peninsula, long ago before his tribe moved to the Middle East. Life was pretty uneventful until a group of former pirates arrived in town and began to steal from the citizens. Amongst other items, the thieves have stolen the Sultan’s sceptre, his mark of office, and Ali, who has fallen in love with the Sultan’s daughter, determines to impress him (and her) by stealing it back. The trouble is that he has no idea how to do that.
