Celebrate the Lunar New Year with Year of the Beast, a bilingual English-Mandarin musical presented by Irvine Chinese International Academy (ICIA) on February 7th and 8th at 6:00 PM in Tustin. Created and directed by an award-winning artist, this production is performed entirely by students aged 5 to 10, sharing their unique perspectives on Lunar New Year, Chinese culture, and learning Mandarin.

This modern reimagining of the ancient “Nian” myth brings traditional culture to life in contemporary Irvine, offering audiences a fresh, vibrant experience. Developed through ICIA’s innovative Visual and Performing Arts (VAPA) program, the musical celebrates creativity and cultural identity.

Don’t miss this inspiring showcase and cultural celebration for the whole community!
