Join us for Story Lunch! Storyteller Andy Davis will be performing and Barb Davis will be preparing a delicious burrito bar for lunch. The event is a benefit for the NH-VT Guatemala Accompaniment Project, a local solidarity organization.
The event goes from 12 until 3; the storytelling will begin at about 1pm. Tickets are $15, or $25 per family, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Burritos will be for sale at the event for $5, proceeds of the sale of which also benefit NH-VT GAP.
He'll begin with a set of stories for children, and after a brief break will perform a set for adults. His material includes personal tales, folklore, and a smattering of history, taking listeners back and forth across the Atlantic and from ancient times to the recent past. There will be laughter. There might be tears.
“Each story—whether deeply personal, wildly imaginative, or quietly profound—sparkled with the unmistakable touch of a seasoned storyteller who knows exactly how to hold a room,” Greg Marsello, program coordinator, of Whitney Community Center, in Jackson, New Hampshire, said of one of Andy’s recent performances.
Andy Davis got his start as a storyteller telling comic tales by candlelight in Mexican refugee camps 30 years ago. He has since broadened and refined his craft and has entertained audiences from Bamako to Seattle with his signature blend of infectious humor, sly wisdom, and a cheerfully subversive spirit. He lives with his wife in a little home-made house in Tamworth, NH. Find out more about his work at www.andydavisstoryteller.com.
In June and July of this year Davis did 21 performances throughout New Hampshire, Vermont and Massachusetts, from Lake Champlain to Provincetown, getting to all of them by bicycle, on two tours totaling 24 days and 900 miles. This was Davis’s third summer of bicycle storytelling. Last July he rode 850 miles through all six New England states, debuting his one-man-show “Quixotic!” which celebrates his relationship with Don Quixote and the capacity of art to change the world.
