Heads & Tales at La Poche

Sunday June 8 at 4:00pm - La Poche, 40 Quebec St Guelph. The intimate, charming performance venue (and barbershop by day) across from The Bookshelf.

I love this show and I think you will too.

HEADS & TALES

I arrive with a hat filled with titles of poems, monologues, and stories. You draw a title and I recite it. No two shows alike. A plethora of recitations ready to go at the drop of a...

This show is infectious. Everyone wants to hear what comes next.

I have a vast and varied repertoire sure to please all tastes.

I think La Poche is the perfect place for an afternoon of storytelling & recitations.

Warning: one's imagination ignites. Caution advised.

Floods, Fires and Fortitude. - Alton Ontario

I came across this lovely sentiment while reviewing my notes for the upcoming storytelling walking tour.

Nancy Early wrote a wonderful tribute to William Algie, the man behind the Beaver Knitting Mill (Alton Mill Arts Centre). His influence can be found throughout Alton and beyond.

Here's what his brother Robert said as William was laid to rest at the Alton cemetery, "...if everyone to whom he has done some kindly, generous act were to bring a blossom to his grave he would sleep tonight beneath a wilderness of flowers."

Experience the thrills, joys, struggles and tenderness as we stroll through the Alton Mill Arts Centre and village of Alton Ontario this summer.
