Al Qasba to Stage Enchanting Theatrical Lineup for Families in 2025
As anticipation mounts for the upcoming cultural offerings, Sharjah’s Al Qasba, a premier family destination managed by the Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq), has unveiled an impressive theatre schedule for 2025. In collaboration with the acclaimed H2 Productions, known for their exceptional storytelling and visually arresting performances, Al Qasba is set to bring a series of beloved global stories to life on stage.
In a vibrant celebration of art and family entertainment, the Masrah Al Qasba theatre will present a remarkable array of timeless classics, reinterpreted to resonate with today’s audience. Building on the triumphs of previous productions such as “Alice in Wonderland” and “Magic Phil’s Toyland Express,” this season promises to captivate both children and adults alike, serving as both a form of escapism and an educational experience.
A Year Long Celebration of Theater and Imagination
Kicking off its theatrical season on April 1, 2025, audiences will be treated to a rendition of the beloved fairy tale “Cinderella,” an enchanting story that speaks to the age-old theme of hope and dreams. This production will run until April 5, laying the groundwork for a series of delightful experiences throughout the year. Later in June, families will embark on an adventurous journey with “Treasure Island,” which will be showcased between June 2-7. Following that, the timeless tale of “Pinocchio” will charm audiences from August 29-31, reinforcing essential values of honesty and bravery through its plot.
As the season progresses, from October 11-16, the captivating story of “Around the World in 80 Days” will take center stage, a comedic exploration of adventure and friendship that invites audience engagement. The theatrical year will culminate with a spectacular presentation of “Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs” from December 5-7, ensuring a festive closure filled with joy and laughter suitable for the entire family.
Each performance will offer two showtimes daily, at 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM, with added accommodations for school group bookings. Ticket prices start at a modest AED 45, making the magical experience accessible to a wide audience. As the productions are anticipated to attract considerable interest, early reservations are strongly encouraged to secure seating.
Merging Artistry with Technological Innovation
In a bid to redefine live theatre, Shurooq is poised to elevate the performing arts through cutting-edge technological enhancements alongside traditional storytelling. The use of immersive LED backdrops, dynamic lighting synchronized with the narrative, and high-fidelity acoustics is designed to envelop audiences in a multisensory experience. Coupled with the expert craftsmanship of H2 Productions in costume design and set construction, each performance promises to transport viewers into the heart of the story, leaving lasting impressions well beyond the curtain’s fall.
Al Qasba: A Destination for Family Enrichment
The majestic setting of Al Qasba, characterized by its picturesque gardens and culturally rich architecture, offers an idyllic backdrop for these productions. Known for its harmonious blend of heritage, artistic endeavor, and delightful dining options, this waterfront venue will transform into a wonderland celebrating stories of adventure, courage, and lifelong values.
