Tales celebrating strong
women, ancient and modern, who use their intelligence, courage, and
resourcefulness to prevail and triumph. The mothers, daughters, sisters,
and grandmothers who populate world folklore and fairy stories and their
present-day counterparts serve to remind us, often in a most humorous way,
how wise, funny, perceptive, and sometimes outrageous they can
be.
Voices of the World
Village
A collage of stories from
many cultures gives adults a glimpse into the lives of our neighbors--from
eight to eight thousand miles away. The stories, through their global themes,
speak of life: its joys, its sorrows, and its twists and turns. The tales
engage the imaginations of the audience through gesture and language rich
in meaning.
Tell It on the
Mountain
Humorous tales from the
mountain regions of our country feature the clever, down-to-earth folk who
populated those peaks and “hollers.” The stories in this program
are representative of the oral folk literature of the mountains. Certain
motifs and anecdotes appear, again and again, from one locale to another,
with embellishments and refinements added in each
telling.
Down by the Salley
Gardens
The garden is an important
symbol in cultures around the world and appears in many mythologies. These
tales revolve around the garden and the flowers and plants which grow there.
If you have a green thumb, an appreciation for nature's abundant beauty or
just like a good story, this one's for you.
Wisdom of the Ages:
Wise Elder Tales
Today, most ideals of
human life revolve around images of youth. Elder tales offer a new image:
one of maturity, centered around wisdom and a particular knowledge of self
and the world. These stories contain vital insights which are as old as time,
if somewhat forgotten in these days of evolving technology. Elder tales entertain
and advise, combining innocence with insight. They contain elements of humor,
suspense, drama, and inspiration, and offer an appreciation for the wisdom
of those in the “second half of life.”
Tales of Mystery and
Enchantment
These stories, like any
folk or fairy tales, contain elements of magic, suspense, drama, and inspiration.
As they draw the listeners into a world of mystery, their simple truths,
often revealed in a humorous way, warm our hearts and lift our
spirits.
Moonbeams and
Starshine
Throughout the ages, in
all cultures of the world, the sun, moon, and stars have been honored. This
stellar collection of stories and legends about the sky highlights the
fascinating lore of these heavenly bodies with all its mystery and
intrigue.
