July 11: Anansi The Trickster – Family Stages – This play brings to life the legend of Anansi the Spider. The Sky-god, Nyame, kept all the stories in the world locked away from everyone. Nyame would release the stories if Anansi could bring him the Hungry Python, the Sharp-toothed Leopard, the Stinging Hornets and the Unseen Fairy. Armed with his wit and web spinning skills, Anansi was able to capture each of these powerful figures and bring them to Nyame. From that day forward, Anansi could not only spin webs: he was able to spin the most fantastic stories of all.
