Anansi: The Story King

In this fun-for-all-ages play, Anansi the spider wants to own all the stories in the world. Nyame, the sky god, has the stories and is willing to give them to Anansi…for a steep price. When Sheri the firefly gets caught in Anansi’s web, she quickly figures out how to help him on his quest (and perhaps save herself at the same time)! With Sheri’s help, Anansi goes on a journey to find Nyame’s three items. Along the way, he finds out a thing or two about himself and the ways in which we are all connected (much like the complex tangle of a spider’s web). An ensemble provides stories, music, singing, and dancing as the two adventurers help Anansi fulfill his lifelong wish.
