The Dancing Granny

Synopsis

 A show for youth and families based on the beloved children’s book by 2017 Newbery Honor winner Ashley Bryan. Kids and adults will be dancing in their seats as Ananse, the clever spider of African folklore, tries to trick Granny into dancing away from her garden so he can take her vegetables. But his plan backfires when he is drawn into the dance himself!
