The Shen Family was one of many illustrious merchant clans in Wuzhen. Today, their courtyard estate has been converted into Festival Headquarters. The third courtyard has been converted into a stunning traditional Teahouse Theatre that seats approximately 100. The new theatre is equipped for traditional performances, where one can sip tea while enjoying a show, or for cutting edge theatre, where the audience can be configured in any way. This year, specially invited plays When my cue comes, call me, and I will answer, In Search of the Tao and Forgiveness will be performed here.
