Saturday, Sunday & Monday | January 15, 16 & 17 | Sat/Sun: 1PM & 3PM | Mon: 10:30AM & 1PM About the show: A side-splitting selection of famous African folktales starring Anansi the Spider, whose appetite always overrules his intellect. Anansi loves to eat and hates to work, so he tries to trick other animals out of their food. But it’s not free lunch for Anansi—all of his schemes leave him hungrier than ever! These hilarious stories are brought to life by the award-winning Crabgrass Puppet Theatre, with a dynamic blend of traditional African design, infectious music and fabulous puppetry.
Performed with rod puppets. This show is recommended for ages 4 and up.
