The Great Race

Saturday, May 2 11am and 2pm
Sunday, May 3 2pm
General admission tickets: $20
You may know your Chinese Zodiac
animal, but do you know how the 12
animals were chosen? Discover the
magical origin story in The Great
Race, a whimsical world premiere
puppet play adapted from Chinese
mythology.
When three young neighbors have a
friendship-ending argument, a wise
Chinese grandmother uses the
power of storytelling to transport
them into the legendary tale of the
Great Race. As they experience the
thrilling competition that
determined the order of the zodiac,
they learn valuable lessons about
teamwork, understanding, and the
bonds that unite us.
Directed by Sesame Street’s Alan
Muraoka and featuring stunning
puppetry—including a breathtaking
Chinese dragon—designed by What
If Puppets (Finding Nemo, Rudolph
the Red-Nosed Reindeer), this
captivating new play was originally
developed in The Rose’s Sharing Our
Stories program to uplift
underrepresented voices in Omaha.
Join us for this enchanting journey
of adventure, heart, and discovery!
