Summertime is story time and nothing beats listening to a story under the trees as the sun settles for the evening.
It's easy to create a small amphitheatre-like configuration with chairs or benches. Maybe a small campfire for atmosphere and natural bug repellant, and of course friends and family of all ages.
It's an easy way to entertain your guests and won't bother the neighbours.
Makes for a lovely summer event.
Invite a storyteller to your next gathering.
I am drawn to one of theatre's oldest traditions: a performer standing before an audience and holding their attention through story, character, humour, and humanity.
It is a simple form. It
requires little more than a voice, an imagination, and a willing
audience. Yet it remains one of the most powerful ways we have of
connecting with one another.
I look forward to sharing Lilt of Laughter, Trace of Tears with you.
Took a lovely group of "Bicentennial boosters" on a Gwelf Early Days walking tour last night.
Their enthusiasm for making Guelph wonderful (more wonderful?) was infectious.
Now it's your turn - Here I am
A sample from the upcoming video.
Celebrating love, family, and the quiet moments that touch us all.
No, but we are making a video - a promotion video for theatre presenters.
Live theatre is a thing worth sharing and Lilt of Laughter, Trace of Tears is a show worth experiencing.
It's early stages yet, but here's a small taste of things to come.
This is a rehearsal recording so it's very rough but the quality of the writing is all there.
This story will soon be ready to be performed at your next storytelling event.
How can you have it at your event - Go HERE for details.
Now relax and enjoy this tale...
