The Great Race: The Tale of the Chinese Zodiac

In ancient China, the Jade Emperor realizes that he doesn’t have a way to measure time. He creates a calendar that links an animal to each year of a 12-year lunar cycle. To secure their spot on the calendar, animals in the dynasty participate in a great race. Some animals use their wit and strength to outsmart their competitors, and some animals use their compassion to complete the race. Which animal are YOU in the Zodiac wheel?

Join the AWB Juniors on Sunday, March 29th at 4PM at the West Wike Theatre at the Agnes Irwin School as they take us on a magical journey filled with creativity.

AWB relies on volunteers.

The first Sunday of every month volunteers assist our actors at workshops as they learn their lines and rehearse their parts. Our most dedicated volunteers support our actors throughout the year and are a part of the yearly performance. There are opportunities for people who want a creative outlet through set design, props and costume development. Great for early teens, adults and seniors!
