Child's Play @ Theatre III in cooperation with the Acton Chinese Language School is excited to announce the latest production in their Theatre for Young Audiences program: The Great Race: The Story of the Chinese Zodiac.
Learn how each animal earned its place in the Chinese Zodiac by taking part in The Great Race. Which animals win the race? Why do the Rat and Cat become enemies? This re-telling of one of the most beloved tales in Chinese folklore features traditional Chinese music, Jingju and martial arts. The Great Race centers around grandparents who are teaching their grandchildren about the Chinese New Year while they make dumplings together. The script incorporates Beijing Opera, Chinese martial arts, and Lion Dance into a re-telling of the origin story of the Chinese Zodiac.
Performances of the full production of The Great Race will be held at:
Theatre III 250 Central Street Acton, MA 01720
Dates: June 13-14 & 20-21

This program is funded in part by grants from the Acton-Boxborough, Concord, Harvard, Littleton, and Westford local cultural councils, local agencies which are supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
