A Celebration of Showing Up: Storytelling and More…
April 13 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
In the realm of ideas everything depends on enthusiasm, in the real world all rests on perseverance. (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)
Join us for an evening of inspiring stories told by Vermont storytellers, celebrating the work of the communities of compassion that are all around us. You’ll get to hear stories told by some very known Vermonters, and from people who will be new to you. They come from Vermont Public Radio, state government, Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports, Vermont Public Interest Research Group, Spectrum, Energy Action Network and other organizations.
The ‘Master of Ceremonies’ is Irish storyteller Gareth Higgins. Gareth was born in Belfast in 1975, grew up during “The Troubles” in northern Ireland, and is now a writer, speaker, and activist. He’s also a wonderful storyteller who pulls you in with warmth, vulnerability, and lots of humor. Gareth will be joined by James Stewart, Vermont musician extraordinaire and VPR host.
