Free Performance Offered at Kids Cabaret at Theatre Memphis 9/13

Anansi Does the Impossible will be performed at Theatre Memphis, FREE to the public, September 13, 2011, at 6pm. This performance based on a story from the Ashanti people of Ghana, West Africa, involves a spider of unusual talents. Anansi brings wisdom to his people, shares adventures with his sons and has a few tricks played on him as well. Suitable for school grades K- 6, the experience is one that parents and grandparents will enjoy as well. Teachers looking to book live performing arts in their schools are encouraged to attend, too. Tickets are available at the door on a first come, first served basis. No reservations will be taken for the open seating event.

Presented by ShoWagon, the Outreach and Education Department of Theatre Memphis, Anansi Does the Impossible is part of a Kids Cabaret program that opens the doors to the community to experience the material available from the ShoWagon performers that also tours to schools and special events.
