STORYTELLING DINNER
Acclaimed Storyteller Jackson Gillman performs on Groundhog Day
Renowned storyteller-comedian Jackson Gillman, known as the “Stand-Up Chameleon” appears Thursday evening, February 2nd at the Corner House Inn’s Storytelling Dinner program in Sandwich. Jackson is a perennial favorite at the Corner House Inn, returning each time with new material. And what better way to spend Groundhog Day than with Jackson Gillman regaling us with his original Mid-Winter Night's Dream? Is it a groundhog or Jackson who allegedly goes on a walkabout tracking an otter, ends up going airborne into the unknown after a terrifying slide, plunges into icy water, somehow survives hypothermia and dances under the Northern Lights with an angel? Jackson insists that much of these winter adventures are true-life. Get cozy around the Corner House Inn fireplace for what will surely be a wild ride, and intriguing fun trying to divine fact from fiction...
Jackson's performance roots are in cabaret, but for over 30 years he has made a name for himself in the storytelling world and will return to the International Storytelling Center in Jonesborough, Tennessee this spring as Teller-In-Residence. He also helps others develop and share their own personal stories during an annual Springboards for Stories weekend. For the 6th year, Jackson offers this workshop on February 3-6, 2012 in the inspiring setting of Rudyard Kipling's historic VT home. Open to all regardless of performing experience, including people who don’t consider themselves performers at all.
