Description

The new schoolbus driver has a magic satchel that holds ancient fables from Asia. As each story is pulled out, the children on the bus are magically transported to China, Laos & the Philippines where they live out stories and learn the morals they unlock. See how learning about traditional Asian fables can help solve problems today. This is SteppingStone Theatre's 6th collaboration with Mu Performing Arts, the nation's premier Asian theatre.
