The Song of Mulan comes to The Ridgefield Playhouse

The Song of Mulan comes to life on stage at The Ridgefield Playhouse on April 23
 

         It’s a day a fun and adventure when The Song of Mulan comes to The Ridgefield Playhouse!  Kids can meet Mulan in the lobby before the show and have their picture taken with her!  Set in ancient China, The Song of Mulan is a story of adventure, courage and bravery that all ages can enjoy. The Ridgefield Playhouse and Ridgefield Academy Family Series brings The Song of Mulan, presented by Virginia Reparatory Theater, to the stage on Sunday, April 23 with performances at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.  Based on the epic Chinese poem, The Ballad of Mulan, our noble Mulan embodies honor and heroism whose positive nature stands the test of time. When Mulan learns that her ailing father is drafted into Khan’s army, she protects him by serving in his place. Disguised as a man, she risks everything to maintain family honor.  This Chinese folk tale features an extraordinary heroine, authentic costumes and props, and lovely songs.  Make it a fun day out when you dine at Dimitri’s Diner (16 Prospect Street, Ridgefield) before or after the show and enjoy 10% off your meal when you show your ticket!  This event is partially underwritten by Books on the Common, South Salem Animal Hospital/Noah’s Ark Animal Hospital with media sponsors Macaroni Kid Danbury-Bethel-Ridgefield and 98Q – 98.3fm.
