# Event Details - **Event Name**: The Crankies with The Lantern Sisters featuring Letitia VanSant - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 19 Dec, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Sat, 19 Dec, 2026 at 09:00 pm (-05:00) - **Event Description**: The Lantern Sisters The Lantern Sisters, Katherine Fahey and Dan Van Allen, are based in Baltimore, Maryland. Katherine Fahey is a a candid and thoughtful multidisciplinary artist who combines the folk arts of storytelling, hand cut papercut artwork, and shadow puppetry in the form of *crankies (scrolling artwork inside a box). Katherine’s Crankies are often based on folklore, oral histories, or songs as far reaching as the southern swamps of Louisiana to the northern reaches of Inuit Quebec. Others are personal stories from her childhood in Virginia or the streets of her in Baltimore City. Joining Katherine will be her performance partner puppeteer and foley artist Dan Van Allen, known also for antique furniture restoration and visionary art. Katherine and Dan’s Crankie performances transport audiences to another time and place, with their authentic and personal interpretations of folk tales, oral histories, and songs. Stories and songs shift with the times, uncovering new meanings in old words, new ways of talking about the communal pathways that led us to where we are today. Crankies are a way to interpret our uncertain times, to draw artistic inspiration and power from the sources of meaning in their lives. History, community, folk tales, ballads, live performance, and environmental instability all manifest in the sounds, feelings, and sensations that permeate their Crankies. Letitia VanSant Letitia VanSant’s lyrics trace questions about why the world is the way it is into the human soul. With sparse indie folk arrangements fortifying a distinctly intimate vocal style, her stage presence is down-to-earth and immediate. VanSant’s songwriting has earned several awards, including the Kerrville New Folk Songwriting Competition and the Baker Artist Award. BBC Radio calls her a “fascinating new artist” and Baltimore Magazine calls her “the Joan Baez of Baltimore” because of her passion for communal singing, whether it’s on the streets or in the classroom. She is one half of Golden Aster, a vocal harmony-focused duo with Laura Wortman of the Honey Dewdrops, and lead vocalist for classic country band Rusty Sal. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/monkton/the-crankies-with-the-lantern-sisters-featuring-letitia-vansant/200030358835208 - **Event Categories**: art, music, entertainment, contests, storytelling - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 11 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Monkton - **state**: MD - **country**: United States - **location**: 2029 Monkton Road, Monkton, MD, United States, Maryland 21111 - **lat**: 39.57624 - **long**: -76.61014 - **full address**: 2029 Monkton Road, Monkton, MD, United States, Maryland 21111 ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: The Crankies with The Lantern Sisters featuring Letitia VanSant - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/4a1426e3a9984b86698385335f68cad802f083ed844596f28dce1c5d9134957f-rimg-w1200-h900-dc080808-gmir?v=1787112279 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is The Crankies with The Lantern Sisters featuring Letitia VanSant being held? - **A:** The Crankies with The Lantern Sisters featuring Letitia VanSant takes place on Sat, 19 Dec, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Sat, 19 Dec, 2026 at 09:00 pm at 2029 Monkton Road, Monkton, MD, United States, Maryland 21111. - **Q**: Who is organizing The Crankies with The Lantern Sisters featuring Letitia VanSant? - **A:** The Crankies with The Lantern Sisters featuring Letitia VanSant is organized by Manor Mill. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at Manor Mill's events? - **A:** Attendees have given Manor Mill a rating of 1/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
