The World Premiere of Zen Ties opens this weekend at The Rose Theater Omaha!
Zen Ties tells the story of two friendly pandas. Koo the Panda comes to visit her Uncle Stillwater, and Stillwater soon learns that Koo has quite the gift of gab. He offers her a special challenge: LISTEN. In the quiet, Koo and Stillwater discover people are not always what they seem. With Stillwater’s positive influence, children in the neighborhood learn there may be more to mean old Mrs. Whittaker’s story than they thought.
In a gentle tale about patience and compassion, Zen Ties imparts universal lessons of wisdom and mindfulness. The play is a disarming story of compassion and friendship that reaffirms the importance of our connection to others. “This play has a gentle touch, a very loving touch,” says guest director, Jessie J. Jou. “The spirit of the play, as embodied in the title, is about the ties we have with each other.”
