add to outlook add to google calendar remind me
Back by popular demand, Tales for the Telling, Stories for Adults, is pleased to again present it previously sold-out show of gospel music in story and song, Turn Your Radio On.
Brian Lecky and Marva Blackmore have added new stories and new songs, but have kept the ones you liked the best.
Word spread about the popularity and quality of this show and Brian and Marva have been invited to bring it to Ottawa. In May, 2016, the show will be presented on the Fourth Stage at the National Arts Centre.
If you missed this show the first time, don't miss this opportunity to see it. If you saw it the first time, you will definitely want to come back and enjoy it again.
Hear the stories about how some of the most famous gospel songs came to be written and performed and then hear the songs. This is a storytelling and music show about the world’s most famous gospel music.
You may be surprised at what Brian and Marva discovered. Some of the most famous gospel music does not have the origins that you would anticipate and some of the songs that are in the gospel catalog, you may not recognize as being gospel songs.
“Amazing Grace” is not based on a Negro spiritual and “Crying in the Chapel” is not the story of a young girl crying over a lost love.
Marva Blackmore has told stories internationally and at venues across Canada including the National Arts Centre in Ottawa. She is the past president of the Storytellers of Canada, and also belongs to the Mid-Island StoryTellers in Parksville/Qualicum Beach as well as the Around Town Tellers in Nanaimo.
Brian Lecky is frequently seen on local stages including Bard to Broadway and Echo Players where he receives outstanding reviews. Music and musical theatre are among his passions and his marvelous baritone complements the stories the Marva tells. Together, they provide a stunning show that is an enjoyable evening for the entire audience.
Tickets for this performance may be purchased at the McMillan Arts Centre in Parksville, at the door or on-line from Eventbrite.ca.
