Christmas comes but once a year, and when it comes it
brings good cheer!
Here in Ithaca there has been a tradition of stretching the
holiday season to its utmost, with a community Twelfth Night Story-telling.
What's a Twelfth Night Story-telling?
It's a celebration of merry making, imagination, mis-rule,
and much community sharing.
Story-sharing might be a better description.
Ithacans tell stories to each other.
The best stories come from the most unlikely tellers!
We will be interrupted by an outrageous Mummer's Play telling the old
story of the triumph of magic, light over darkness, life over death.
Then follows the pageantry of choosing and crowning the Monarch
of Twelfth Night, when the Lord or Lady of Mis-rule reads the
(scripted, sigh) proclamation for 1998.
Bring a snack, munchies or dessert to share.
The array of food is always a wonder.
Bring a couple of dollars to share the cost of the room.
And definitely bring the family - children of all ages are
welcome. For more info, call Phil Shapiro at 844-4535.
