Seattle Storytellers transport you to a kind, harmonious earth for Earth Day

Sunday, April 15, 2012

Green tales can take you to a kinder, harmonious earth: The Seattle Storytellers’ Guild Mobilizes for Earth Day 2012. April 21, 7pm at Haller Lake Community Club.

Bring your friends and family to this fun, earthy celebration--performances are adult in nature and geared for ages 13 and up. The telling starts at 7 p.m. and continues until 9 p.m. Tickets are available at the door for $10 (for members) and $12 (for non-members).

“A Night of Green Tales” gets to the heart of the matter with expert teller Pat Peterson. For more than twenty years, Peterson has told stories to audiences of all ages, blending traditional tales with her original stories in a way that will make you glad to be a citizen of the earth. Beloved by audiences from Canada to California, Peterson takes the art of storytelling to new heights.

Tom Rawson, armed with guitar, lap dulcimer, numerous stories and infectious wit always gets audiences to sing and clap, and sometimes, wild dances break out. Rawson brings his own stories to the stage and delights audiences as he weaves melodies, harmonies and mysteries together. Rawson is a man with a banjo and he’s not afraid to use it. He has been advocating for social justice and kindness to the earth and fellow humans for many decades.

“A Night of Green Tales” will put a smile on your face and some new information in your pockets. You just might leave knowing a little more about the earth when blogger, news writer and climate change expert Richard Pauli takes the stage. Pauli tells an ancient story of King Canute—perhaps the first English king—who set up his throne by the sea and then imagines: If he lived on that shoreline today, what would he see? It is a fascinating story that teaches each individual what you can do to sustain the future.

Mary Anne Moorman, KBCS.FM storyteller, also known as “Auntmama,” serves as emcee for “A Night of Green Tales.” Auntmama adds a small tale and large laughter to any show. She’s gearing up to get down for Earth Day and she will reveal what that means on April 21 when “A Night of Green Tales” lights up the stage at Haller Lake Community Club.

Haller Lake Community Club is nestled in North Seattle between I-5 and Aurora Avenue North, on the corner of Densmore Avenue and North 128th Street - 12579 Densmore Ave. N., Seattle, WA 98133, or check the Seattle bus schedule for the one that stops right out front.
