Agnes Scott's Winter Theatre - Dana Fine Arts Building

In this adaptation of the most popular of all African folk tales, the wily trickster Ananse the Spiderman weaves a web of adventures in the jungle and the sky. Fantastic fables featuring characters such as God of the Sky, the Leopard-of-the-Terrible-Teeth, the Hornet-Who-Stings-Like-Fire, and the Fairy-Men-Never-See are brought to life by actors playing both humans and animals. The performance features singing, dancing, drumming and storytelling, providing a bridge from West Africa to Agnes Scott's Winter Theatre. Fun for all ages (with a special emphasis on the younger ages).
