Anansi, the trickster spider, is up to his mischievous ways in these two short adventures. In the first adventure, Anansi gets himself stuck inside a melon, but does that bring him down? No way! He decides to pass his time by doing what he’s best at – tricking the other animals around him. But, how will he manage to free himself from the melon? In Anansi’s second adventure, he finds Tiger making her special tiger soup. Anansi loves the soup so much he decides to distract Tiger in order to eat it all up. Uh-oh! Tiger is going to be mad. Can Anansi trick Tiger into thinking someone else ate all her wonderful soup? Join us for the puppet show to find out!
