There once lived a young Emperor in ancient China. His golden palace was filled with the rarest of treasures. Still, not satisfied with all his wealth and power, the Emperor devised a plan to capture China’s famous singing nightingale. “The Enchanted Nightingale” is the classic story of boy gets bird, boy loses bird, boy gets bird back. But there’s a twist! The songbird is really the beautiful Princess Jade trapped under an evil spell. With fan dancing, martial arts, and a healthy helping of comedy, this modern adaptation celebrates the beauty and culture of China. Starring Kathleen Chen, Emily Kuroda (‘Mrs. Kim’ from “Gilmore Girls”), West Liang, and Simon Yin (“Funky Punks: Bright Ideas!”), “The Enchanted Nightingale” is a tale about discovering wealth in generosity and learning that the most valuable of treasures are the family and friends that surround us. The Falcon has taken audiences to Paris (“The Empress and Her New Clothes”), Russia (“Peter and the Wolf”), and Greece (“The Little Mermaid”). Now get your passports stamped again as we travel to ancient China in “The Enchanted Nightingale”.

Kids $12 & Adults (ages 13+) $15
