Subject: Bynum Front Porch Three-Month Storytelling Series Continues October 22nd
Please join us for an evening of storytelling at the Bynum General Store on Saturday, October 22nd at 6:30 pm. You will have the opportunity to hear a variety of storytelling styles and stories from some of the area’s finest!
This evening features Tyris Jones and Doug Elliott.
Doug’s stories derive from his unique lifestyle as well as his deep interest in plants, animals and people. Doug’s stories explore and celebrate the rich diversity of that special human connection to nature. His programs are textured by his use of traditional lore, regional dialects and accents, and enhanced by his soulful harmonica playing. For more information, visit his website at www.dougelliott.com.
Tyris is a native of Laurinburg and holds a BA in Theatre Arts from North Carolina Central University. Jones was professionally trained in Lighting Design at Crossroads Theatre Company at which he was employed when they became the only African American Theatre to receive a Tony Award for outstanding regional theatre. Jones has also traveled and worked throughout the US and Europe as an independent lighting designer for hip hop artist Common, the Like Water For Chocolate tour and other staged plays. Tyris is known for his lively tales that captivate audiences of all ages.
Please come join us for a fun-filled evening. As always, there is no admission price but we do pass the hat for donations to bring these wonderful storytellers to our Bynum Front Porch Stage.
