Three Paper Plays
Wed Nov 5th at 6:00pm
for ages 5-12

What do you get when a storyteller, a musician, and a graphic artist squeeze their brains into a tiny rectangular space? You get The Kamishib’ys, of course!

Kamishibai (Japanese for “paper play”) is a form of street theater and storytelling, where narrators set up a miniature wooden stage, revealing a series of colourful illustrations as the tales unfold.  The Newfoundland version is The Kamishib’ys: performed by storyteller Dale Jarvis and musician and percussionist Jaehong Jin, with art by printmaker Graham Blair.  Sit down in front of their portable storytelling stage as they share a three-course feast of family-friendly fables.
