The production "The Story of Nowruz" describes the unique celebration of the arrival of spring and the beginning of the Persian new year. From exciting and ancient Zoroastrian soul-cleansing rituals, to the good luck charm and beauty of the "Table of the Seven S's,” the performance depicts traditions of inspiration, rebirth, renewal, and hope through traditional choreography, original scoring performed by a live 22-piece orchestra, and professional actors in a first-of-its-kind stage production.

The Story of Nowruz will be performed in 7 scenes (mirroring the haft-seen), beginning with history and traditions prior to Nowruz, during, and after. The tale celebrates the amazing, ancient rituals and stories shared in a vibrant format.
