  • Child’s Play at Theatre III: The Great Race: The Story of the Chinese Zodiac

    Theatre III 250 Central St., Acton

     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 re-telling of one of the most beloved tales in Chinese folklore—the origin story of the Chinese Zodiac.   This program is funded in part by grants from the Acton-Boxborough, Concord, Harvard, Littleton, and Westford local cultural councils, local agencies which are supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
