SUNDAY'S PERFORMANCE IS SNOWED OUT

If you are a musical theater buff and have never heard of Mulan, you're forgiven. This 1998 Disney musical originated as an animated film and has never been produced on Broadway. If the words "Disney musical" make you cringe because you think they suggest antediluvian entertainments with helpless princesses waiting for princes to validate their lives, listen to what high school teacher Vance Cannon has to say about Mulan: "She is the Disney princess who is most empowered, most independent, most active in creating the action and the story. Things do not happen to Mulan; she makes them happen. And I believe this is the reason there are Mulan pictures above Erica's desk at the library" This weekend, you can witness this young heroine save the day surrounded by a cast of 30 students (from Canaan, Cornwall, Falls Village, Lakeville, New Milford, Sheffield, Sharon and Salisbury) when the Falls Village Children's Theater Company's school presents Mulan at Housatonic Valley Regional High School.
