Spotlight Youth Theatre DuPage is taking audiences on a trip through time, taking theatergoers to ancient China where a daughter will defy conventions, save China and bring honor to her family.

With 91 actors ranging in age from 8 to 18, Spotlight is staging "Disney's Mulan Jr." over two weekends at the Compass Auditorium, 1551 E. Hobson Road, Naperville. The curtain goes up at 7 p.m. Fridays, 11 a.m. Saturdays, and 3 p.m. Sundays, May 6 to 15.

In the show, Mulan defies the village matchmaker and disguises herself as a boy to spare her father from having to serve in the army. The Huns have invaded, and it's up to Mulan and her mischievous sidekick, Mushu, to save the Emperor.

Tickets are $12 for adults, $10 for seniors and ages 2 to 17 in advance; prices are $2 more at the door. Tickets are available at spotlight.org and may be printed at home, or can be purchased by calling (847) 516-2298.
