Chocolate & Love Stories
The traveling teller, PapaJoe, is the one of those characters you expect to find wandering through the pages of an old children’s picture book. And when you see him telling a tale, long beard wagging, the explosion of expressions, the range of voices, the depth of emotions; you’ll know some of the reasons he is so loved by his listeners. He draws us into the tales like chocolate.

Geared towards ages 12 and up. Light refreshments will be provided.
