The play, "Anansi the Clever Spider" is playing at the New Conservatory Theater Center (NCTC) this week-end and next. Tickets are normally $10 for kids and $15 for adults but we found them for free on events@goldstar.com or www.goldstar.com There is actually a $3.50 or $4.50 per ticket service charge but it's still a good deal. We saw the NCTC production of "The Wizard of Oz" a few months ago and it was really fun. The cast and crew are all young people -- teenagers, I think. They are definitely not high gloss productions but they are clever and fun, the kids are talented and our 5 year old loved the production we saw (in fact, she went back the next day to see it again). It is a good group to support, too...so get your cheap tickets, then donate whatever extra you can afford when you get to the theater.

Thank you, Micael! Morrigan is fascinated by Anansi, so she'll love this! To anyone else reading this, hurry to goldstar.com if you want to attend because except for the 4:00 p.m. 3/14 show, all the shows are sold out already.
Thanks, Michael, great info and site! We may go Saturday afternoon.
Damn it. When I checked the theater's press page on the play, I see cast photos for this theatrical interpretation of an African fable that include no cast members of conspicuous African descent/phenotype. This distresses me very much, and I'm no longer certain about taking Morrigan to see the play, especially given that we have specifically engaged Anansi stories as part of her African{American} heritage.
