Last Sundays, January - March, at 2-4 pm at Proctors
Also accessable by video on demand
If you're one of those people who lingers in your car long after reaching a destination just to hear the end of Garrison Keillor's "The News from Lake Wobegon" or Ira Glass on "This American Life," then Word Plays may be for you.
Many performers will be telling during this season.
At each Word Play, a different group of performers tell rarely heard contemporary and traditional stories
about celebrating the human spirit. You will discover that Word Plays is a shared experience between the audience and the performer, combining the intensity of a solo performer with the intimacy of a face-to-face conversation.
Each show has its own theme where each story told relates to that theme.

A note from a listener:
"I thoroughly enjoyed today's wonderful storytelling on Zoom.
I attended Word Plays at Proctors whenever my schedule allowed. I am so glad I can hear these great tellers again.
Story is so much more effective in pointing out our common human experience than lecture is."
