About the Show:
In Songs of the Moon, three Asian American students gather under a crisp autumn sky, preparing for their community’s Mid-Autumn Harvest Festival. As they explore three beloved folktales—Sun and Moon (Korean), The Jade Rabbit (Vietnamese), and The Moon Lady (Chinese)—they discover the joy of tradition, connection, and storytelling.
