This summer, let’s explore what’s been found underground through stories of folks who’ve dug in the dirt and the cool stuff they’ve unearthed. Join Barry Stewart Mann for a fun program that includes interactive retellings of delightful books and fascinating stories: Faith McNulty’s How to Dig a Hole to the Other Side of the World; tales of two paleontological pioneers, Mary Anning and Barnum Brown; Shel Silverstein’s poem “Prehistoric,” a meditation on modern saurians and their ancient ancestors; and an imaginary tour of some of the world’s greatest archaeological wonders, from Mesa Verde to Angkor Wat. There will be song, costumes, striking visuals, and plenty of participation and engagement.
All ages welcome.
