EarthWoven

On Thursday, April 24 @ 7 PM, the Ice House in Bethlehem will come alive with the imaginative spark of storytelling as tellers present EarthWoven: Stories of Connection, Creation, and Wonder. This special event invites the community to gather for an evening of captivating tales, from timeless myths and folklore to personal narratives— prose and poetry, and maybe a little song—that resonate with pluck and passion, all exploring our relationship with the earth and our experiences upon it.

The evening’s fare features master storytellers Ingrid Bohn, Jim Cyr, Robin Gow, Charles Kiernan, Denise McCormack, and Larry Sceurman, each known for their ability to bring narratives to life with depth and resonance, as well as favorite regional poets Darrell Parry, Nancy Scott and Ms. Latrice Young whose poetry embodies the participatory power of spoken word, each sharing selections of verse inspired by the EarthWoven theme.

“Stories have the power to awaken, to connect, and to transform,” says Denise McCormack, president of the Patchwork Storytelling Guild. “At a time when the natural world faces unprecedented challenges, storytelling—especially those narratives that make plain the interconnected web of life of which we are part—continues to prove its worth.

We hope that everyone has a great time, tellers and the audience members alike, and that the shared experience merits rethinking and retelling long after the show is done, even encouraging others to share their best loved stories in programs to come.”

EarthWoven celebrates the art of the oral tradition, showcasing a variety of storytelling styles and performers. From the epic origins of mythic creation to heartfelt personal journeys, this evening promises to spark the imagination and warm the spirit.

Admission is Free and Pay-What-You-Can because we want you there.
