Portland Storytellers Guild

TOMORROW NIGHT! THE CRONES ARE BACK!

This crew promises to tickle your funny bone and shiver your spine with a collection of their favorite stories of everyone's final dancing partner. From the promise of saving one's soul -- or sole-- to a rollicking birthday bash and a visit to a graveyard, we promise you’ll never think of death in quite the same way.

Tickets: www.portlandstorytellers.org or https://fertileground.tix.page/

If you were to believe the stories, Death seems pretty easy to outwit. Or maybe he’s just more compassionate than one would think. Come decide for yourself.

A PSG / Fertile Ground New Works production at The Artichoke. PDX.

The Crones are back! You can catch this group Saturday, April 12th at Artichoke Music. And to get you in the spirit, here is a poem from Anne Penfound, Crone.

The Crones, Dancing with Death, at three and half seven
We are hoping like hell, we'll dance into heaven
We are, Julie, and Anne, and Barbara
We'll be dancing together in a danse, most macabre.
You're invited to join us for the stories we'll tell
Will be hopeful, inspiring and funny as well
You see death he is stealthy; he's coming, we know
But till then, we'll keep dancing, we'll go on with the show.
