This year’s YAPI SHOWCASE will be something entirely different. Our students will perform CULTURAL FOLK TALES!
Explore and enjoy two different folktales from around the world this summer at Peter Kirk Park in Kirkland. Studio East YAPI teens will present two tales: An Anansi Tale from Africa and The Frog King from Northern Europe. About 30 minutes long, both stories will be full of silliness, audience participation and laughter. These Cultural Tales are great for youth ages 3 – 9. Admission is 100% FREE.

- Saturday, July 10 @ 11am and 1pm – The Frog King
- Saturday, July 24 @ 11am and 1pm – Anansi & his Friends
