A family puppet-building workshop at 5 p.m. today will precede a public performance of “Ananse!” by Wood and Strings Theatre, a nationally touring puppet company, at 7 p.m. in Lee University in Cleveland, Tenn. Ananse is a spider, a trickster in Ashanti folklore, who leaves his mischievous mark on life as a new day dawns. The production draws inspiration from West African music, masks, costumes and oral traditions. Tickets are $3 for the workshop, $5 for the play, which takes place in the Dixon Center, 1053 Church St. NE. The box office opens at 3 p.m. For more information, call 423-614-8343 or visit www.leeuniversity.edu/theatre.
