Storyteller laRon Williams Visits PNT 5/23, Followed By Cookies & Milk Reception

By:

Renowned storyteller LaRon Williams visits Performance Network Theatre on Saturday, May 23rd at 11am. This all-ages show, part of the Children's Theatre Network's Saturday Series for Young Audiences, is followed by a free cookies and milk reception.

LaRon will bring his unique multi-media storytelling experience, including songs, stories, games and traditional instruments like African drums. Kids love participating in LaRon's interactive stories as he uses his voice, facial expressions and movements to create "special effects" like thunder or falling water.

LaRon Williams is a nationally acclaimed, award-winning storyteller who has toured extensively presenting programs and workshops. His highly participatory, music filled performances - which have been labeled experiences of "goosebumpy delight" - present a dynamic blend of original and traditional tales crafted to help improve literacy, promote peaceful conflict resolution, foster cooperation, encourage community, build self esteem, and deepen our historical understanding of the workings of American Democratic inclusion.

Tickets for the Children's Theatre Network Shows can be ordered at the Performance Network Box Office at 734-663-0681, online at www.performancenetwork.org or by coming to Performance Network Theatre (120 East Huron St., Ann Arbor) Monday-Saturday 11am-6pm or one hour before a performance. Tickets are $7 for children and $10.

Children's Theatre Network is a touring program dedicated to awakening the creativity, intellect and compassion of our youth through the power and fun of live performance. Performance Network presents each of the productions one Saturday a month on its Main Stage. These shows are great entertainment for all ages and include a milk and cookie reception following each performance.

Founded in 1981, Performance Network Theatre has grown from a fledgling company to Ann Arbor's only resident, professional theatre. The Network reaches 40,000 theatre patrons and children each year through the year-round Professional Series and the Children's Theatre Network. Performance Network also presents the Fireside Festival of New Works and a series of classes on theatre-related topics. The Network provides uncompromising artistic leadership in the region and produces works that engage, challenge and inspire audiences and artists.
