STORYTELLING DINNER

“Oh, NO, not ‘The Duck Story’ ”: Storyteller Andy Davis returns to the Corner House

 
Thursday, March 8th

Thursday evening, March 8th , White Mountain storyteller Andy Davis will be telling tales in front of the hearth at the Corner House Inn in Ctr. Sandwich. Andy will be the featured performer at the Corner House’s Storytelling Dinner program, which begins at 6:30 pm.

Davis has entertained audiences as far east as Paris, as far south as Bamako, and as far west as San Diego, and is a regular performer at libraries, schools, coffeehouses, open mics, and senior centers in the Mount Washington Valley. His varied repertoire includes tales of youthful indiscretion and footloose adventure, multicultural folktales and tales of folk background with an original twist.

Davis’s Corner House appearance will include “The Duck Story,” which he calls “the nearly-true story that got me started.”

“For years I told it at every opportunity, to family, friends, and strangers waiting for the bus.” Davis said. “There came a day when, at a party, I stood up and opened my mouth and everyone winced and cried out ‘Oh, NO, not ‘The Duck Story!’ That was the moment when I finally branched out and become a real storyteller.”

Among other things, Davis will also tell an offering for St. Patrick’s Day.

“Andy’s stories are unique, witty, and totally captivating,” said Michael Parent, the 1999 recipient of the National Storytelling Network’s Circle of Excellence Award. “His material is personal and, thank goodness, never self-conscious. He combines a warm, easy manner with a commanding, straightforward delivery. He is a storyteller with brains and heart.”

Davis lives with his wife and young daughter in Albany, in the shadow of Mt. Chocorua, where they direct the World Fellowship Center, an educational family camp and retreat center devoted to peace and social justice. He is a member of the League for the Advancement of New England Storytelling (LANES) and the The Mountain Storytellers Guild.

Storytelling dinners are held every Thursday evening, 6:30 PM, at the Corner House in Center Sandwich, from late October through May. The cost is $16.95 per person, plus tax and gratuity.
