On behalf of myself and the Artstarts Executive Board of Directors, WELCOME TO THE SHOW! Thank you for coming to watch our talented performers bring the Disney favorite, Mulan Jr. to life. This is such a visually beautiful show with simple themes woven throughout the music, dialogue and action. It is easy to understand why it is a story loved by all ages.  Unending strength and resiliency teams with an unwavering belief in oneself to provide a touching human story set in a China of years gone by. Family tradition and loyalty provide the glue that helps tell this story in such a touching fashion.  Mulan Jr. is emotionally engaging, entertaining and deeply heartwarming. Everyone involved in this production is so very proud of how the children have worked hard to give this show the presentation is deserves.

The stage performers, volunteer workers, generous sponsors, parents, families and friends are all due a huge THANK YOU  for the essential parts they have played in bring this show to the stage.
