Britt Anderson, Whisper TheatreSemi-professional company

60 minutesWillow Studio
Greek mythology meets Steel Magnolias in Arachne, a bold, hilarious solo show about the very first spider. Athena, the Goddess of Justice and Handicrafts, is hosting a launch party for her memoir… until a mysterious force that demands she tell the WHOLE truth about her past. If she doesn't, she'll be coughing up webs for all eternity. Athena's story dives into issues like justice, accountability, and the complexities of women's friendships. Britt Anderson uses music, multiple characters and audience interaction to weave this tale about two former best friends. International premiere after successful runs in Chicago and Borderlight Fringe.
