The Emperor’s Nightingale is an adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s story The Nightingale, set in 18th-century China, and brings to light the youthful exploits of the future Emperor Qianlong.

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.


"Chongren Fan’s staging, for Pan Asian Reperatory Theatre, uses shadow puppets, playful costumes and goofy humor to bring the story to life… it is refreshing to be able to bring kids to such a show.”– The New Yorker
