AFRICAN ADVENTURE TALES – by Crabgrass Puppet Theatre                               AGES 4-10

Two funny folktales from Africa come to life in this vibrant new production. In “Koi and the Kola Nuts,” the youngest son of a tribal chief only receives one small kola nut tree as an inheritance instead of his father’s riches. On his travels, he meets a snake, a crocodile, and a colony of ants, all in desperate need of the one thing Koi has: kola nuts. Koi’s kindness to the creatures he meets is later rewarded when their help saves his life! Then, “ Anansi and the Talking Melon” features the irrepressible trickster Anansi the Spider who is lazy, greedy and out only for himself. Anansi eats his way into a melon and, finding himself too full to get back out, fools the other animals into believing that the melon itself can talk! Spectacular scenery and catchy music make this a must-see performance.
