A tale as old as time lit up the stage at Copiague Middle School as the students presented Disney’s Aladdin Junior. The musical, which takes place in Agrabah, tells the love story between the street urchin Aladdin, played by David Szabo, and Princess Jasmine, played by Natalie Korba, and the challenges they must overcome, including the evil Jafar, who was played by Andre Morgan.
To prepare for the play, the student-actors worked for months to learn lines and choreography, while behind the scenes. the stage crew built sets, sewed costumes, and learned make-up techniques, and how to use the lighting and sound systems. The musical was directed by Gina Occhiogrosso and included support from Assistant Director Michelle Budion, Choreographer Sylvia Walsh, Costumer Meredith Wanzer, Scenic Designer Lauren Lefkowitz, and Producer Jennifer E. Pierre-Louis. Additionally, student-interns from the Walter G. O’Connell Copiague High School assisted behind the scenes.
