🎭 Embark on a vibrant jungle adventure with Anansi the Spider, a 45-minute spinning web of creativity, teamwork, wisdom, and resilience! The tall tales of this mischievous spider boast of leopards, snakes, turtles, and wild birds, all brought to life using stunning life-size puppetry and inspired storytelling. Crafted by a guest artist alongside students from Alabama A&M University, this new play celebrates and educates with African folklore, music, and dance.
📌 Our workforce development program offers professional opportunities for students and alumni of AAMU. Artistic Director Stephen Tyler Davis works closely with Assistant Professor Jill Coon to create a curriculum that is the perfect blend of teaching foundational skills inside the classroom and developing young artists to prepare them for the first paid professional contract. This partnership is a commitment to workplace development and creating the next generation of artists here in Huntsville and beyond.
📌 Theater for Young Audiences Series — These productions are created with young audiences in mind, introducing them to the joys of theatre through bite-sized, but still impactful, productions that leave them wanting more! These performances are perfect for first-time theater goers or young theater enthusiasts! TYA series is presented by First Horizon Bank.
