The young actors of Horizon Youth Theatre will get a chance to bring favorite animated characters to life when the troupe stages the musical "Aladdin Jr. " Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Bowling Green Performing Arts Center.
Based on the Disney cartoon complete with animals characters and a flying carpet brought to life, this a familiar ground for the actors.
Connor Long, who plays the title character, said all but two of the 32 members in the cast had seen the animated feature film.
Long, who attends St. John's Jesuit in Toledo, said the movie has always been one of his favorites, and he's thrilled to get the lead role. When he auditioned, he didn't know what to expect.
He's been involved in the youth troupe for five years, starting out with the production of "Pinocchio." Horizon productions give him a chance to spend time with his Bowling Green friends and be involved in theater.

The Bowling Green High School's Drama Club has been welcomed to the world stage.
The local troupe will participate in the International Thespian Festival at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, Neb. at the end of June.
Their production of "Anatomy of Gray" will be one of 14 plays selected for a main stage show.
"The prospect is both terrifying and exciting," said Veronica Gonzalez, one of the cast of 18.
She, along with cast mate Grace Easterly, have already been to the international festival.
And they know that the actors in the main stage shows are the stars of the event.
Typically the performers in those shows exude dedication to their craft, Easterly said. "They put out 150 percent."

TOLEDO - Acclaimed Aboriginal art expert Wally Caruana will discuss "The Emergence of Aboriginal Australian Art " June 6 at 6 p.m. in the Toledo Museum of Art Peristyle. This free presentation is part of the museum's Masters Series.
Aboriginal art, or Indigenous Australian art, traditionally has been based on ancient stories and symbols related to ancestral stories about the creation of the world ("the Dreamtime"). Many of these stories are over 50,000 years old. Some contemporary Aboriginal artists, particularly urban artists, have focused more explicitly on identity politics and social issues.
Caruana is considered to be one of the world's leading experts on Aboriginal Australian art. Currently an Aboriginal Art specialist with the Michael Reid Gallery in Australia, he is also a visiting fellow in the Department of Art History at the Australian National University and is the senior consultant of Aboriginal Art to Sotheby's Australia. Caruana is the author and editor of several books and catalogs on Aboriginal art.
