Arachne
Whisper Theatre Collective; Britt Anderson

Arachne is a bold, hilarious solo show that reimagines the ancient Greek myth of Athena and Arachne, the first spider, in the American South.

Audiences are calling Arachne "relevant, thought-provoking, and laugh-out-loud funny" and "as sexy and funny as it is heartbreaking."

Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom, Justice, and Handicrafts, is throwing a soiree to celebrate her memoir! That is, until a mysterious force demands that Athena confront the truth about her relationship with her old friend, Arachne. 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 female friendships. Award-winning comedian Britt Anderson uses music, laughter, multiple characters and audience engagement to weave this funny, heartfelt and sometimes raunchy tale.
