Check out photos from yesterday's Beijing Playhouse Academy of Performing Arts' performance of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. 29 students, ages 6-14, rehearsed the show in just two weeks. 180 friends and family attended the show-a record breaking attendance for a children's performance in English in China.
The Beijing Playhouse will present the munchkinized Christmas musical comedy Wizard of Oz in December 2013, more info at www.beijingplayhouse.com
