Looks like we’re in for a seriously spooky time this Halloween season when dynamic storyteller Michael Katz offers a selection of ghost stories for the young, and young at heart, in a free program at Soul Bites on Monday, October 30.
Starting with a 4 p.m. show just for the little ones, ages 5-9, Katz (a very popular storyteller performer at local elementary school assemblies), will share some of his favorite eerie tales drawn from folklore, myths, and his own life.
“Often I decide the stories on the spot,” he says. So while the tales are “not set in stone,” the 4 p.m. set includes stories for the youngest crowd such as Wiley and the Hairy Man: a Black American folktale and Tia Miseria: a Mexican American folktale.
