For its annual Winter Program, the Storytelling Guild brings Portland-based Tears of Joy Theatre to Medford for two performances of Legends of Coyote on Sunday, February 10. As a member of the audience, you will learn Native American words, songs, and trickster tales of how things came to be! Nearly every Indigenous culture in the world tells “trickster tales.” Prevalent in North America are stories about the infamous Coyote! Legends of Coyote is a compilation of two hilarious stories and is performed with puppets, masks, and costumes inspired by Pacific Northwest Native American art.
Admission is FREE TO ALL, but you can support the Storytelling Guild by bringing a new or gently used children’s book to donate. These donations support the Guild’s Pass the Book Program, which every year gives 5,000 to 10,000 books to more than 25 local agencies that work with children. Don’t miss this opportunity to see award-winning puppet theater and support the Storytelling Guild’s mission to bring the joy of reading to children in Jackson County. Shows begin at 1:30pm and 4:00pm at the Craterian Theater in downtown Medford, so arrive early for best seating. Doors open 30 minutes before each show.
