Special Summer Event in Youth Services: Playtivity

PLAYTIVITY
will present an interactive drum and dance program at Perrot
on Wednesday, July 30th, 2008!
There will be two performances: a 4 P.M. show for pre-schoolers and their families, and a 7 P.M. Show for school-aged children and their families.
Free tickets are now available at the Youth Services Desk!


More 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!
