Audiences will be swept off to fantastical faraway places when “1001 Nights: A Love Story About Loving Stories” hits the stage at the Center for Puppetry Arts for a two-week engagement. In this celebration of brainy imagination over brawn, a princess uses her wits to save a kingdom from an evil decree as she spins tale after tale for a narrow-minded king. Featuring genies, jesters, 40 thieves and other captivating characters, the princess’s cliffhanger stories keep the king — and audiences — on the edge of their seats.
