The Great Race, March 19, 2026 10:00AM

Event Summary

Three actors strike triumphant, energetic poses on stage during a theatrical performance. They are dressed in playful, casual costumes—one wearing a bathrobe and tropical shirt, another in a headband and T-shirt, and the third in a striped shirt. Behind them, a whimsical set made of colorful fabric panels and wooden frames suggests a homemade boat or adventurous setting. The lighting and their expressive gestures convey a joyful, storybook-like atmosphere

Grades K - 3

Join our characters, Po Po and Kung Kung, as they celebrate Chinese New Year by making dumplings and sharing the story of The Great Race with their grandkids, Freddie and Ivy. The show weaves a family celebration with a re- telling of one of the most beloved tales in Chinese folklore-- 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. This 12-year cycle will mark the passage of time. Which animals win the race? What are the traits that help them cross the river? Why do the Rat and Cat become enemies? Learn how each animal earned its place in the Chinese Zodiac through this new performance from HTY, featuring a cast of 4, traditional Chinese music, Jingju and martial arts, and a whole lot of fun!
