Anansi is a figure deeply rooted in West African storytelling traditions, often portrayed as a clever spider spirit capable of changing forms and challenging expectations.
The production features actors performing both online and in person, continuing Theatre Adventure’s longstanding mission of creating opportunities for artists with disabilities while challenging traditional expectations of theater and performance.
Organizers say the show is designed not only to entertain, but also to encourage audiences to think differently about ability, creativity, and storytelling.
“Come celebrate the performers as they take the stage with courage and creativity,” organizers said in an email. “Offering an unforgettable experience just for you, the audience.”
Tickets are available online and at the door on a sliding scale beginning at $15, with $20 suggested. Organizers emphasized that no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
