Tale Travelers
April 24 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Embark on an adventure at Geisel Library with Tale Travelers! Audiences of all ages will enjoy a thrilling journey, encountering legendary characters as they explore classic literature, having mysteriously fallen from their stories. Learn a sea shanty with Captain Hook, bring a monster to life with Dr. Frankenstein, explore stories with Scheherazade, and more. As participants navigate the library’s corridors and peek in on incredible stories, our audience of lost literary figures will unlock the magic of storytelling along the way.
