TOURING
 Scheherazade
About the Show
Adapted by Jennifer Blatchley Smith, Landis Smith & Leslie Reidel Directed by Leslie Reidel National Symphony Repertoire Scheherazade's one-thousand-and-one tales are told to heal her King and to save his kingdom. Through these fantastic stories, the King experiences adventures both great and small and discovers his true capacity to love. Music, like theater, has the power to illuminate and transform. As a theater company whose work is primarily movement-based, music supports and enriches our storytelling and becomes another voice woven into the narrative. Our collaborations with symphony orchestras are inspired by a shared vision that by bringing together the magic of music and theater, greater possibilities are born. The orchestra will evoke Scheherazade musically as we evoke it dramatically, using masks, puppets, magic and movement. It is our intention that our combined efforts will move the audience to discover this marvelous tale in a new and meaningful way.
Recommended for ages 5 and up. Running time is approximately 60 minutes. "Enchantment Theatre adds a beautiful visual narrative to Scheherazade, Rimsky-Korsakov's stirring orchestral music. The audience was mesmerized by both."
–Joan Katz Napoli, The Cleveland Orchestra For booking or other information, contact Sasha Gurevich at Jonathan Wentworth Associates, Ltd. at office@jwentworth.com or 914.667.0707.
