East African Women Storytellers

Telling tales of triumph and struggle, records of womanhood and family, this evening of East African Women Storytellers finds the Maplewood Performing Arts Theatre filled with inspiration and the root of all good theatre: interesting stories. Storytelling is, after all, one of the oldest forms of entertainment we have. And though our modern dedication to the oral tradition may have waned in the face of flashier forms, nothing -- absolutely nothing -- beats a good story. Come find out for yourself why this adage remains as true as ever, as the East African Women Storytellers give you a glimpse into their amazing culture.
