Acton Theater III - The Great Race (4)

Learn how each animal earned its place in the Chinese Zodiac by taking part in The Great Race. Which animals win the race? Why do the Rat and Cat become enemies? This re-telling of one of the most beloved tales in Chinese folklore features traditional Chinese music, Jingju and martial arts.

The Great Race centers around grandparents who are teaching their grandchildren about the Chinese New Year while they make dumplings together. The script incorporates Beijing Opera, Chinese martial arts, and Lion Dance into a re-telling of the origin story of the Chinese Zodiac.

Grease

Here is Rydell High’s senior class of 1959: duck-tailed, hot-rodding “Burger Palace Boys’ and their gum-snapping, hip-shaking “Pink Ladies” in bobby sox and pedal pushers, evoking the look and sound of the 1950s in this rollicking musical.

Head “greaser” Danny Zuko and new (good) girl Sandy Dumbrowski try to relive the high romance of their “Summer Nights” as the rest of the gang sings and dances its way through classic songs. The show features “Greased Lightnin’,” “You're the One That I Want,” and “Hopelessly Devoted,” that recall music of Buddy Holly, Little Richard and Elvis Presley that became the soundtrack of a generation. An eight-year run on Broadway and two subsequent revivals, along with innumerable school and community productions, place Grease among the world’s most popular musicals.
