Welcome to the Frog Pond 
November 14 | 7pm

Doors open at 6:30. Show starts at 7pm.
This performance is based on the premise that life is a frog pond and we are all in it. No clapping allowed between sketches, as the audience is asked to participate by becoming an inhabitant of the Frog Pond. We croak. We howl. We remember. Together, we go on an epic journey to reclaim our voices.

Cory Cavill is a poet, a storyteller, a performer–an explorer in being human. Her goal is to get people to think and interact with the elements of our world. We howl. We chirp. We play. We joyfully dive into the lessons found in living. You will begin to question, "What kind of flower am I? What does a river say to me? Do I sound like a bird or a wolf?" Cory is here to remind us that we are here to claim our voices, our stories, and our lives.
