WordStage ends its 2023 season with a tribute to James Thurber
by Tim Tavcar 09 Nov '23

09 Nov '23

WordStage Literary Concerts presents A Cavalcade of Thurber WordStage ends its 2023 season with a tribute to Ohio author, humorist and illustrator, James Thurber. Our program begins with an excerpt from an interview Thurber did for the Paris Review, conducted by George Plimpton and Max Steele. In it, he tells amusing stories of everything from his own writing process, to his cartoons and illustrations, to incidents in his life that shaped his own amusing and idiosyncratic literary output, to often acerbic comments about writers, friends, and associates. The second part of the program will be a collection of some of his most wry tales and fables, such as “The Little Girl and the Wolf,” “The Sheep in Wolf’s Clothing,” and “The Unicorn in the Garden.” These will be accompanied by a selection of manic melodies that underscore the quirkiness of Thurber’s delightfully skewed stories. The program will take place in the Wright Chapel of the Lakewood Presbyterian Church - 14502 Detroit Ave. in Lakewood, OH on Saturday, November 18th at 7:00 p.m. For more information, please visit our website at www.wordstageohio.org.

by Heather Utsler-Smith 08 Nov '23

08 Nov '23

Talespinner Children's Theatre presents Chicken Story Time: a play for our youngest audiences ages 18 months through 5 years! This participatory play will have your little one singing, dancing, and playing along. Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to story time at the library, of course! The children like the chicken, the chicken likes the children, and everyone loves story time. So it's no surprise that more children (and more chickens!) get in on the fun until there are more kids and critters than the librarian knows what to do with. Luckily, with some help, the librarian comes up with a creative solution, and we all get to experience the joy of a great book! Friday November 10th at 11:30 am, 2:00 pm, and 3:00 pm Saturday November 11th at 9:30 am, 1:30 pm, and 3:00 pm Sunday, November 12th at 10:00 am, 11:30 am, and 3:00 pm All tickets Pay-What-You-Choose.
