  • The Great Race

    The Story of the Chinese Zodiac

The Great Race // Bank of America Theatre

Eisemann Center Presents: 2025-2026 Season

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 retelling of one of the most beloved tales in Chinese folklore-- the origin story of the Chinese Zodiac. Learn how each animal earned its place in 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?

The show features traditional Chinese movement, music, and martial arts
