Storytelling Guild 2012

The Storytelling Guild partners with the Craterian Ginger Rogers Theater to bring two free performances to children of the community. A professional puppet theatre group is hired for these performances and it gives children, many who would not otherwise be able to attend the theater, a chance to enjoy a professional performance at no cost. This program allows the Storytelling Guild to expose children to another form of storytelling, through the magic of puppets. Children are asked to bring a book donation to this event and those books are distributed with our ‘Pass the Book’ program.

January 2011 - The Storytelling Guild will proudly sponsor two  performances of  “Stellaluna”, a large-scale puppet show at the Craterian Theater. The Tears of Joy Theater presents a comedic puppet show based on the beloved children's book by Janell Cannon. In Stellaluna, a baby fruit bat falls into a bird's nest, where she is taken in by the bird family but struggles as the odd one out. As she grows, she learns to accept her differences and find her own identity.
