Tarantula and the Dance of the Animals
Children's concert (ages 6 and older)
Eww! A spider! Hang on – she’s not a scary spider. Her name is Tarantula, and she’s all alone. She can’t spin a web, but dreams of a spiderweb palace filled with friends. She sees all the other animals from the proud lion to the friendly chickens pass by. But nobody pays her any attention! Until she discovers she has the magic power to make the other animals dance. Will her dream come true after all?
