The African Drum

The African Drum is a "shadow puppets-and-people" musical celebration of multicultural sharing for African-American History Month! Come listen to the wit, wisdom and humor of three wondrous African folktales told by a drummer, a storyteller, a talented cast of performers -- and See-More, the company's hallmark puppet. Listen to the beat of the African rhythms as they reveal the exciting adventure of the little girl Kijana, her animal friends, and the Zimwe (bad man) who tricks her. Learn how the Turtle Got Its Shell, and How the Animals Got Their Colors, all woven together within Kijana's Tale. This show presents a great opportunity for family sharing, and it's especially recommended for children from pre-K to 5th grade.
