Based on West Africa and Caribbean folklore, this original production from playwright Nina Domingue follows a cast of many characters and Anansi– a wise spider– who uses performance and puppetry to bring his lessons to life.
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. 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.
Tickets to the show are entirely “Pay What You Can” and all ages are welcome to attend.
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.
Pay What You Can! Near West Theatre is dedicated to providing accessible theatre-going experiences to our community. The Web of Anansi is open to all ages with no suggested ticket price.
