Youth Theatre opens its 20th anniversary season with AIDA, the epic
tale of love, loyalty and betrayal featuring the exhilarating Tony® and Grammy®
Award-winning score by Elton John and Tim Rice in their first collaboration
since writing the music for the worldwide phenomenon The
Lion King.
Set
in ancient
Egypt
, AIDA is the contemporary musical reincarnation of the tale of love between a
soldier and an enslaved princess – a love that condemns them to death, but
ultimately transcends the vast cultural differences between two warring nations.

runs August 8 through 24 with performances Thursdays and Fridays at 7:30 p.m.,
Saturdays at 2:00 and 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:00 p.m. at the Herberger
Theater Center August 8 through 24.
