Long before she was a Disney Princess and cavorted with the likes of Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Ariel the Mermaid and Snow White, the young character at the center of Mulan: The Warrior Princess was inspiring young girls to live their dreams. The original sixth-century poem (The Ballad of Mulan) tells the story of a devoted daughter who disguises herself as a man to serve in the army in her aging father’s place. The Express Children’s Theatre, which was founded in 1991, brings the heroic tale to life with a script written by former Houstonian Alvaro Saar Rios.
