When Mu Lan dresses up as a boy to take her father’s place in the army, she has lots to learn and lots to prove, but her biggest battle might be with her confidence. This new telling of an ancient Chinese legend mixes traditional Chinese theatrical techniques with contemporary music for a brand-new take on a classic story of girl power.  The Ballad of Mu Lan, originally presented live on the Louis Stage in 2022, will be screened in this encore presentation.

Running time is 80 minutes, no intermission.

Best enjoyed by audience members 5 years old and up.
