Regina
Ress
Indra's Net
Connection, Reflection,
Refraction, Distraction, and finally,
Love!
A net stretches throughout the universe; at each crossing point a
polished jewel reflects all the other jewels. This is Indra's
Net. Blissful, baleful, welcomed, or refused, the Universe
presents us with unwavering offerings of connection. When we
refuse, we get lost in the stars; when we open our hearts, we dance
the cosmos and discover Love. For her ninth annual Love Stories
concert, Regina Ress plays with images of connection, bringing
stories from around the world and the human heart.
Sunday, April 1st, 2012, at 3:00 p.m.:
Carol
Birch
Empathy &
Engagement
Stories from John Steinbeck
and Ray Bradbury
What do a tough waitress in John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of
Wrath and a weary librarian in a Ray Bradbury story have in
common? When empathy precedes engagement, how extraordinary the
compassion, the courage and the connection between human beings can
be. How essential it is to find — and offer — the helping hands as
we make our life journeys. Join Carol Birch, one of America's
preeminent storytellers and master of the literary tale, for an
exhilarating, thought–provoking, and wonderfully entertaining
afternoon of stories.
Sunday, April 29th, 2012, at 3:00 p.m.:
Michael
Parent
"What? I Didn't Tell
You?"
Unpredictable, uncategorize–able, and a better than average hockey
and ping–pong player, Michael Parent has performed for
nearly 35 years in a wide and wild variety of venues, moving easily
from silliness to poignancy. He combines an understated
mastery of the storytelling form with a highly developed sense of
fun. This better–late–than–never bow to April Fools Day will
contain folk tales, personal stories and general tom–foolery.
And there may or may not be door prizes.
All the programs are appropriate for adults and children 8 and
