Staples Summer Theatre will present “Aida,” a musical written by Elton John, for two weekends beginning Friday at Bedford Middle School.
The musical is being directed by Al Pia, who ran Staples Players for 28 years before retiring in 1996.
According to the play’s producer, Matthew Deedon, “Aida” is based upon an old opera in which a Nubian princess is enslaved and then falls in love with the son of her captor.
The show will be presented this Friday and Saturday, Aug. 12 and 13, as well as the following Friday and Saturday, Aug. 19, and 20 at 8 p.m. in the Bedford Middle School Auditorium. Tickets are only available at the door. For more information, call (203)341-1310.
