West Africa – Anansi, the Trickster Spider

Ages 3 – up

A delightful musical adaptation of this traditional story from Ghana based on Anansi-the Trickster Spider. Anansi retrieves stolen stories from Nyame, the Sky God by tricking animals of the jungle and enlisting the help of the audience. Through pre-performance workshops, children become village dancers, monkeys, elephants, hippos, bees, crocodiles, spiders and more learning songs, chants and movement to perform in the show.

Presented by Grumbling Gryphons a Traveling Children’s Theater (winner of the 2003 Connecticut Governor’s Arts Award). Registration is required
