❖ Mar 3   Yankee Humor and the NE Storytelling Tradition

Good stories never die, they evolve from teller to teller. New England has a rich and ongoing storytelling tradition from folklore to “Bert and I” to stories about your family, your life, or the town you live in. Humorist Rebecca Rule will prime the pump with stores she’s collected at small-town gatherings, often at historical societies and libraries, over the last ten years, plus a classic or two. Our “discussion” will be the stories that listeners offer up, and as one story leads to another—humorous, serious, thought-provoking, or just plain entertaining—we practice and preserve our stories and tradition. And laugh, a lot.
