Stories have the power to bring people together. Stand in a room when people are listening, really listening, to a well-told story and you can hear a pin drop. The audience is completely engaged, each individual forming a picture in her mind’s eye, feeling the emotion of the story. Listeners will have an opportunity to hear local professional storytellers, Karen Sangaline Pillsworth and Lorraine Hartin-Gelardi, share traditional and original tales. The story concert Peace and Hope: Tales For Our Times is sponsored by Tall Tale/Short Story Productions.
