He befriends a magical bird who helps him learn what he must do to be King. The play employs traditional Chinese lion dance, puppetry, and a pair of tigers and pandas to tell this fun, thrilling tale.
Now celebrating its 43rd milestone season, Pan Asian Rep is continuing its educational initiative for young children ages 1-6. This production emphasizes the importance of leadership guided by a moral compass, through the story about two rival teen brothers competing for the throne.
