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, it 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.

"Disney's Mulan Jr." is directed by Dennis Brown, with assistant director Paige Lindsay, vocal director Dawn Harkins, and choreographer Jocelyn Adamski.

The cast includes: Conroy Unruh and Paige Lindsay, both of Batavia; Macey Buckman of Elgin; Ryan Bussert of South Elgin; Meghan Monroe of Geneva; Audrey Morreal of Huntley; Gabrielle Willaert, Calum Lowe, Meredith Abbs, Jayd Steinke, Jake Love, Lucy Love, Elena Christos, Vada Wozniak, Rachel Cornille, Abigail Hannah, Mackenzie Oster, and David Brown, all of St. Charles; and Nicole Vandermey, Meghan Keifer, Samantha Manthei, and Ava Nunes, all of West Chicago.
