HI!
Well, this week we are booked at Riverview School in Manitowoc, WI to do a program for ages 4-6, plus parents with siblings in tow. We always look forward to doing programs for this age because these particular kids are so honest in their reactions. We have a wealth of material for this group and we hope we've chosen stories that they will like. It's a real challenge to sift through all the good books and pick the right stories. But some selections by Kevin Henkes, Russel Hoban, and Robert Munsch hopefully will do the trick!
The readers this Thursday are Pamela Ford, Linda Gratz, Valerie Kriewald, and Lynn Neuser. We laugh so much in rehearsals and we hope this frivolity will transfer to our performance!
It is going to be MAY this week! Life just goes too fast!
Jim Miller's program at the Lester Public Library in Two Rivers is our next upcoming public event. More about that later.
Hope you're having a happy day!

Well, we just had the best Birthday Party program yesterday! The most delightful group of kids, with parents, came and celebrated our first year of programs back at the Lester Public Library in Two Rivers, WI.
The stories we interpreted included BEAR'S SURPRISE PARTY, by Joan Bowden; THE BEAUTIFUL THINGS, by Thomas McGrath; MOIRA'S BIRTHDAY, by Robert Munsch; SOMEONE, by John Ciardi; and A BIRTHDAY IS A MAGIC DAY, by Dean Walley. The readers who made these stories come alive need special thanks: DAMON CATTANI, DIANE HANSEN (who also directed), PHIL KINZEL, CLARAN LAVIOLETTE, and MARY MELLBERG.
And extra thanks go to TERRI EHLE and her staff for providing delicious cupcakes and colorful balloons to make our party special! Without their support, we wouldn't be able to share the joy of reading with kids! Hopefully, I'll have some pictures of this program to post on this blog.
Next month, our program will be directed by Jim Miller. Keep tuned in for further updates.
Wishing you a marvelous spring........YEAH.......the blossoms are finally poking their heads out here in northeastern Wisconsin!

HI!
That's how we begin every program of The Hatrack Storytellers (TM), now of Manitowoc County. We are excited to see every one of you at each program.
You don't know about Hatrack? Well, we've been in existence since 1967 and have traveled all over Wisconsin and as far away as London, England! Four or more readers share a story aloud for various ages, sometimes wearing goofy hats if the story calls for it. We do our best to provide a positive experience to each person who attends.
THIS MONTH:
SATURDAY, APRIL 17, 11:00 A.M.
Lester Public Library, T.R.
A HAPPY BIRTHDAY PROGRAM!
