About the Show: Ashiko the Spider (Ananzi’s cousin)
When the
African queen decided to have a celebration, she invited
the best drummer in the village- Ashiko, but there’s
only one problem…. Playtivity has created their own version of “Ananzi the Spider.” Using puppets to represent the village members, participants are invited to join in the party by dancing and playing music as they go in search of Ashiko. Everyone celebrates in a delightful surprise ending which kicks off a fun drum and dance party!
