I am very proud to announce that I will be telling a collection of Winter Tales at the Château Ramezay Museum in Old Montreal on two dates in December 2008 -- Saturday the 13th and Saturday the 27th. The show starts at 15h15 and will last 45 minutes.
The stories I will be telling celebrate the lore and legend around the... winter months. These stories include:
• Ti-Fleur and the Magic Fiddle (French-Canadian)
• Thomas and La Chasse Galerie (French-Canadian)
• The Month Men (Russian)
• La Befana (Italian)
Bring your family! Bring your friends! Bring your kids! This is a family show that all will enjoy!
UPDATE: Technically, the show is free, but you only have to pay to enter the museum. Once inside, you have access to all the activities in the museum, including the storytelling.
Fees:
