Old Man and the Monkeys & Other Chinese Tales at Center for Puppetry Arts

Five traditional and not-so-traditional vignettes are woven together to recount tales of Ancient China. Fables of compassion and consideration, along with the greatest ping pong match of all time, are told through beautiful imagery and surprising effects. Music and humor pull the stories together for an elegant look at these cultural gems. Stories include: "The Crane and the Tortoise," A Donkey's Best Friend ," "The Dancer, " "Old Man and the Monkeys," and "The Super Duper Ping Pong Match." Honored by the National Endowment for the Arts in 2004 with a National Heritage Fellowship Award (the highest honor our nation gives to folk and traditional artists), Dragon Art Studio delights the senses while giving a special insight into Chinese folklore and culture.
