Brother John's African Folktales

Step up to the mic to speak your truth: share a poem or song, some spoken word or comedy, maybe a monologue or story.

Join Georgia and her wild animal friends for an interactive adventure filled with stories and songs. Discover why elephants have trunks and rabbits have short tails.

Have you ever wanted to try performing on the stage? Join a professional teaching artist from the Coterie Theatre for a reader’s theatre workshop, ending in the performance of a traditional folktale.

Brother John conjures up a host of interactive fables and characters that will keep you spellbound. We'll finish with a "Harambe" call and response featuring the djembe drum.
