Puppet Showplace Theater is pleased to present 'Tiger Tales' by Chinese Theatre Works as part of our 40th Anniversary Season 'Puppets Around the World' Series!

Four performers blend Chinese and Western styles of shadow puppetry to create a delightful theatrical experience filled with wit and wisdom.

A wise old rabbit recounts for her granddaughter the rise and fall of the reigning jungle monarch, the fearsome but none-too-smart Tiger.

Based on traditional Chinese folklore (with a humorous modern twist!), 'Tiger Tales' features a colorful cast of antique-replica shadow puppet characters and traditional Chinese music.

About the Performers:Chinese Theatre Works (CTW) was created in 2001 out of the merger of two non-profit institutions with long histories of bringing both traditional and contemporary Chinese performing arts to local, national, and international audiences.

Now based in New York City, CTW's mission is to preserve and promote the traditional Chinese performing arts (including opera, shadow theatre, puppetry, dance and music); to create new performance works that bridge Eastern and Western aesthetics and forms; and to foster understanding and appreciation of Chinese culture in audiences, artists students, scholars and educators around the globe.
