中國戲劇作品：十二生肖木偶劇

English: “Hao Bang Ah!” is a common Chinese expression meaning “Great!” or “Well done!” Each year, Chinese Theatre Works celebrates the Lunar New Year season with an original “budaixi” traditional Chinese glove-puppetry production that features the twelve animals of the Chinese Zodiac. This year’s show stars the Snake, who presides over a jolly selection of wild puppet skits, dances, popular songs, and well-known Chinese sayings that celebrate the wit and wisdom of the zodiac animals. Special guests include the Lady White Snake and other all-star members of the zodiac puppet ensemble. A hands-on post show demonstration will make the Chinese bilingual cultural experience accessible to all audience members. This program is funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Hearst Foundation.
