A brand new production that weaves a family celebrating Chinese New Year with a retelling of the origin story of the Chinese Zodiac. When the Jade Emperor needs a way to tell time, he decrees that there will be a Great Race. The first twelve animals to cross the mighty river will have a year named after them. Which animals win the race? What are the traits that help them cross the river? Why do the Rat and Cat become enemies? This performance features a cast of 4, traditional Chinese music, Jingju and martial arts, and a whole lot of fun!
