The production is the result of a partnership between The Bill Nunn Theatre Outreach Project and KST's resident youth theater company, the Alumni Theater Company (ATC). Director Bill Nunn says, "I consider it a sacred honor to carry on the telling of this simple African folk tale about right and wrong." He adds that the tale of Br'er Rabbit and the Tar Baby found in the Uncle Remus stories is derived from the oral history of Ananse tales.
