This performance is suggested for ages 12 and above. Diane Edgecomb:A nationally recognized and award-winning performer (Year’s Best Performance- Boston Herald, three time winner of the Storytelling World Honor’s Award), Ms. Edgecomb is widely respected as a master storyteller in the revivalist form of storytelling. Her rich narrative style and humorous outlook make her one of the most sought after tellers in the country today. She has been featured on National Public Radio as well as at theaters and coffee houses throughout the Northeast. A versatile performer, Edgecomb has been hailed by Publisher’s Weekly as "a virtuoso of the spoken word...an entire cast rolled into one." A new author, Edgecomb has documented the dying Kurdish storytelling tradition in A Fire in My Heart: Kurdish Tales recently published by Libraries Unlimited. This collection of Kurdish folktales, recipes and games, the first of its kind in English, is the result of a seven-year quest that brought Edgecomb to remote mountain villages in Turkey. Margot Chamberlain: Margot Chamberlain has sung and played Medieval bowed strings, recorders and Medieval harp with such groups as Quadrivium, LiveOak, Mistral and the Revels. Performance venues include the Gardner Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, Counterpoint Theatre and First Night Boston, as well as many concert situations for both adults and children. For the past twenty years Margot has devoted herself to the Celtic harp. She has recorded on Woodbine, Encina, Sound Reflections, and Living Folk Records. Tom Megan: Composer, playwright, and musician Tom Megan is a multi-instrumentalist who plays piano, accordion, guitar, and penny whistle. He has written several full-length musicals and has received numerous writing awards for the musical stage, including the prestigious Yip Harburg Award for lyric writing.
