Shameless Plug: The Sheik of Persia

A shameless plug goes out tonight for The Sheik of Persia: Like Sands through the Hourglass, now playing at the Desert Star Theatre in Murray. Included in the talented cast are my Improvables colleague Bryan Dayley and my friend and high school classmate Matt Kohler.

Thanks to some free tickets from Bryan, a group of friends and I were able to attend tonight's final dress rehearsal performance, and we found ourselves enjoying it and laughing quite a bit.


Apparently intended to be a parody of the forthcoming Disney movie Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, this production also spoofs Disney's epic cartoon Aladdin, as well as referencing several current events and Utah cultural references. In other words, it is another typical show filled with the type of gags and humor that you would expect from the folks at Desert Star.

The Sheik of Persia runs through July 10.
