The Northeast Louisiana Delta African American Heritage Museum will play two performances of Anansi: The Original Spider Man.
Cathy Airhart Webb, from CA Studios, said, "I decided to get three stories and weave them together. And this play was born out of those three stories."
Live performances are at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. on Saturday, March 19.
The Northeast Louisiana Children's Museum will host a public performance of the show on Friday, March 18 at 6 p.m.
This show is recommended for ages four and older. Admission for adults is $10 and for students, $8.
Anansi stories originated in Ghana hundreds of years ago when Africans were brought as slaves in the early 1500s. Anansi was a smart but mischievous god. The Sky God, Nyame, changed him into a spider because he refused to give up his mischievous ways.
