DAVID HARRELL
David has written a one person play that he acts out called “A Little Potato and Hard to Peel”. His show is a wonderful story about his life as a child being born missing his right hand. This show will be best for MS/HS.
SUMNER McCLAIN
Sumner McClain is an African American storyteller. He is an extraordinarily gifted performer who has delighted audiences of all ages. His repertoire is broad and diverse appealing to all- from the sublime to the silly-there’s something for everyone. His many appearances include numerous First Night venues, the Boston Children’s Museum, Springfield Art Museums, Three Apples Storytelling Festival, Boston Globe Book Festival, in addition to hundreds of library and school appearances. Listening to Sumner’s stories will put a smile on your face and lighten your steps.
Selections Include: Original and Traditional Stories/Some Themes:
●Overcoming Fear, Love, Sharing Responsibility, Appreciating Differences, ●Enhancing Self-Esteem, Peer Pressure
Supplementing the African-American Perspective
●The life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; original narrative as seen through the eyes of his father 'Daddy King'
●Black authors in children's literature
Sumner McClain shares the process of weaving a story. In performances and workshops, he introduces the idea that each person might retell a story in his/her own way. In sharing the retelling, we in the classroom or audience learn a little more about where we and others are coming from. And thus we become more appreciative of our differences.
Sumner's message is Yes! You can be anything you want to be.

Steve Kidd
Sigh/Omelas
Steve Kidd, Sigh/Omelas
Sigh / Omelas” is a poignant, moving drama about children who are affected by and afflicted with HIV and AIDS. This powerful play is based upon Steve’s experiences working with these children in a summer camp. He portrays 4 characters and the narrator. His original dramatic text is interwoven with Ms. LeGuin’s haunting and provocative story of the fictional utopian city of Omelas, where people live in perpetual happiness and joy . . . but at what cost?
Enjoy the day,
Jane Boyle
President
