ENSEMBLE THEATER – PO’S KUNG FU DREAM (Age 7-14) 7 Dates Inspired by the popular animated film ‘Kung Fu Panda’, this humorous play tells the story of how a young Chinese noodle seller became a great warrior and saved his village. This production is an abbreviated version of the original story, using human characters rather than animal characters. The adventure-filled story’s profound message is to find our special purpose in life and to believe in ourselves, and the focus will be on the relationships between the characters and not on staging combat sequences (no martial arts skills required). Older children will need to memorize more lines and carry the storyline while younger children have more class time to play acting games and appear in smaller roles in the final performance.
