The Crones Present: Winking at Life’s Challenges
Who knows how to handle the silly, serious, bizarre, or bawdy challenges that life throws at us better that those who have survived them --and lived to tell the tales? Come laugh at the story of the duplicitous –but triumphant bride. Take to heart the wisdom of Baba Yaga. Follow a vain woman from life to death and back again as she wakens to what truly matters. And follow the trials of a grumpy old contrarian who finds just the magic she needs.
As always, when a group of women of a certain age gather, there’s much to learn and much to wink at. So do come join The Crones--Barbara Fankhauser, Pam Maben, Anne Penfound and Julie Strozyk --for a night of laughter and enlightenment.
About the Tellers:
BARBARA FRANKHAUSER--
After all these years, Barbara is more than qualified to call herself Crone. And now that time has become such a precious commodity, she prefers to that carry the wit, wisdom and knowledge that is older, even, than herself, forward with the stories she tells. Barbara’s most beloved tales involve goddesses and crones and wise folk who come from her own cultural roots of Scandinavia and the British Isles.
JULIE STROYZK--
Julie Strozyk began her storytelling career by enthralling her classmates with “scary stories” in the 6th grade. These were extemporaneous tales of mad scientists and vampires made up on the spot. Although encouraged by her teachers, she put aside her off-the-cuff performances to further her education.
ANNE PENFOUND--
Anne presents a unique oral interpretation of original stories and multicultural tales which have inspired audiences since 2001. Her style and quirky British humor, facial expression, voice and gestures take you right to the heart of the story. These stories fan the embers of experience and tickle our funny bone with the enjoyment of life.
PAM MABEN--
Navigating the fine line/chasm between the imaginal and the real world, between myth and truth at a deep level in stories has engaged Pam Maben for many years. These stories bring us their treasures and can take us on far journeys of the mind and heart without ever leaving home. Slowly but surely this path brings us nearer to wisdom.
