The Web of Anansi
February 18 - February 19, 2022
Based on West Africa and Caribbean folklore, The Web of Anansi is a special collaborative partnership between Near West Theatre, Twelve Literary Arts, and The Inaugural Barbara Smith Playwriting Fellow, Nina Domingue, in the creation of an original production directed by the acclaimed Nathan Henry.
This production is made possible thanks to a generous award from the Cleveland Foundation Affiliated Fund and the City of Cleveland’s Cable Television Equity in the Arts Fund (formerly Minority Arts & Education Fund) in addition to Cuyahoga Arts & Culture, The George Gund Foundation, and the Ohio Arts Council.
