Through captivating storytelling and scenery, The Web of Anansi will take you on a journey to learn how there's always more to the story than we first believe. The play follows a cast of many characters and Anansi-- a wise spider-- who uses performance and puppetry to bring his lessons to life. Alongside tiger cubs Oselo and Osela, the audience will soon learn just how important our choices are and how they shape both our lives and the lives of others.
