STORYMAKERS
Throwback: A Mega-Myth Mashup
November 27 – December 1
Performance Length: One hour
Recommended Grade Levels: 4-8
Suggested Curricula: Language Arts, Social Studies, Theater
You probably know by now that history is StoryMakers’ jam! And this
time it’s a mythic mashup of tales from the ancient world. So … what
if Odysseus (Ulysses) teamed up with Aeneas (uh … Aeneas) after
the Trojan War? And, what if Echo won’t shut up and Narcissus won’t
stop looking at himself? Annoying? Yeah. And what if the Cyclops
(one eye) meets Argus (a hundred eyes)? Would they “see” things
differently? Don’t look now. From Mesopotamia and Egypt to Athens
and Rome, we’ll mash up the madness without making a major mess;
maybe. It’s very smart and STUPID fun! And also alliterative.
(See what we did there?)

The Telling of Anansi Tales
January 11-12
Performance Length: 45 minutes
Recommended Grade Levels: K-3
Suggested Curricula: Language Arts, Social Studies
Àgoo-o-o!
(Attention, everybody!)
Anansesem, The Telling of Anansi Stories is oral tradition in
the musical-dance-folktale genre of African storytelling and
brings with it its less known companion, MMOGUO, the
accompanying recreational folktale songs that may happen as
Anansi stories to move Anansi stories along from one story to the
next with audience participation. There’s rhythm in the telling of
Anansi tales as the stories are told, sung, danced and drummed.
Come ready to listen, learn, dance and play!
