ABOUT THE STORY
The Girl in The Dog: A forbidden chamber is filled with hair, a girl seeks refuge in the skin of a dog… Superlative storyteller, Jan Blake, draws us into the hot, enchanted realm of Caribbean and African fairytale – where rules get bent, taboos are broken, people go astray, and family bonds are tightly tied. Expect dark encounters and surreal enchantments, as magic is done and undone to restore balance in a dynamic world of wonder.
ADULTS: $25
YOUTH 12-18: $10
This evening is for ages 12+.
