Africa comes to Queens on Feb. 1 and 2 when the York College Performing Arts Center presents “The African Drum,” when kids aged 3–7 sing and dance and dance their way on a trip through the grasslands.
Kijana and her animal friends, including talking leopards, a wise old loon and a turtle, teach life’s lessons as they lead the children on a wondrous adventure through storytelling and traditional African folk tales, including “How the Animals got their Colors,” “How the Turtle Got its Shell” and “Why the Egret Flies Free.”
The fables are accompanied by original and traditional African music performed on the “talking drum” and other authentic African instruments.
Tickets are $10 for the hour-long show and can be purchased by calling the box office at (212) 724–0677; performance dates are Feb. 1 and 2; with two performances each day at 10 and 11:30 am.
York College Performing Arts Center, 94-20 Guy Brewer Blvd. between Liberty and Jamaica avenues in Jamaica, (212) 724–0677. For more visit www.shadowboxtheatre.org.
