Have you heard of the fearless spider called Anansi? This West African tale is about a cunning spider who uses all of his wit to get what he wants. This free performance will be held at the Central Library.
Through story and song, the play shines a light on their dreams, their times with family and friends, and the trials and tribulations they faced as children living in a divided and segregationist city.

This production is a collaboration between The Black Rep and COCA.
