Arachne: A Work in Progress Show by Britt Anderson

Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom, Justice and Handicrafts (among other things) is throwing a party for her old friend, Arachne (an enormous, venomous spider). While waiting for the guest of honor, a mysterious force demands that Athena launch into the past - specifically, Arachne's origin. Athena uses different characters, audience interaction, party supplies, and a little bit of song and dance to tell Arachne's story and clear the webs from her own history.
