SUMMER CAMP @ TLT is pleased to present their performance of the Disney classic, Mulan, JR, directed by Dylan Twiner. Based on Disney’s Oscar-nominated film, Disney’s Mulan JR is a heartwarming celebration of culture, honor and the fighting spirit. With hit songs and a story packed with action, humor and heart, Disney’s Mulan JR brings ancient China to life with a modern sensibility.
The Huns have invaded, and it is up to the misfit Mulan and her mischievous dragon sidekick, Mushu, to save the Emperor! Defying the village matchmaker, Mulan takes up arms and disguises herself as a boy in order to spare her father from having to serve in the army. As the great battle with the Huns approaches, Mulan must choose between revealing her true identity as a girl or saving all of China with her clever plan.
Mulan, JR will run Friday, July 20, 2018 until Sunday, July 22, 2018. Friday and Saturday showings are at 7:30pm and Sundays at 2pm. This show is recommended for all ages.
