It's a lituation!
What to expect:

A lively interactive family and community storytime for all readers ages! Families and reading buddies will enjoy bonding together over beautifully written and read cultural stories and fun folktales performed by professional storytellers. This lively event for all ages includes an art project, brand new book giveaways and sometimes, weather permitting -- a lively parade across to our outdoor space MUSE on the Ave where we "Get Lit" with our instruments and positive chants to encourage a love of reading and books throughout the Joseph Avenue neighborhood!

SAMPLE PROGRAM:

Our featured children's books are always BIPOC authors, illustrators, characters and have inclued I Am Enough by Grace Blyers, Sylvia and Marsha Start a Revolution by Joy Michael Ellison (Author), Teshika Silver (Illustrator), Beautiful Blackbird by Ashley Bryan, My Rainbow by DeShanna Neal and Trinity Neal, Illustrated by Art Twink! Our Storytellers & Readers have included Almeta Whitis, Gwenn Glenn, D'lores Simmons, Djed Snead, Javannah Davis (WAVE Women), Roc Social Butterfly, Drag Kings; Nigel Lestat and Valentino, who performed for us and told us their stories of how they became the dynamic performers and individuals they are!

We've even featured Nfasi Theatre company who shared an excerpt from their play, Anansi Tales for the Holidays. Young readers were invited to join the show to retell traditional African folktales about that clever spider, Anansi we all love! Our feature book was Anansi and the Golden Pot by Taiye Selasi.

All families in attendance receive a FREE copy of the featured book of their choice thanks to our generous Book Angels who donate brand new books and funds to purchase brand new books. We are so grateful!

SPECIAL NOTE:

As many of you know on January 10, 2024, our building was struck by a Rochester Police Department patrol car, damaging the front structure and front door. As a result we have closed the front entrance and lobby. The repair process will be lengthy and has already caused several delays, postponements, snowball effects so please bear with us while we try to keep pressing forward to bring the community theatre and the programming you have come to love. We will be using the rear entrance for this show and until further notice.

ACCESSIBILITY NOTE:

We recommend accessing rear door using the Berlin street sidewalk. At the back door we have a portable wheelchair ramp and volunteers are happy to assist upon request and with guidance on how you or your guest(s) would like assistance navigating the ramp. We truly apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you to Center for Disability Rights for loaning and consulting on how to best resolve this temporary challenge. Also Luticha Douchette for her invaluable consulting, knowledge and wisdom!
