Storytellers back at the aqaurium this month

Staff reports Night & Day The Niagara Gazette Wed Jan 30, 2013, 02:39 AM EST

Night & Day — Don’t catch a chill, chill out at the Aquarium of Niagara throughout February. It’s time for the annual storytellers’ visits.

Beginning Saturday, each storyteller will share a tale or two in their own special way. Children must be accompanied by at least one adult.

Storytelling will begin with Annemarie Jason, an annual Aquarium visitor, who literally pulls her tales out of her “story hat.” Her stories involve music, action, puppets and rhymes. She and the other tellers of tales will appear at 11:30 a.m. and 2:45 p.m. each Saturday.

Annemarie is also the storyteller Feb. 9. This day usually featured Mr. Beau the Clown. We were saddened to hear of his passing late last year.

On the third Saturday, Feb.16, Denise Chapman-Acosta, will share stories directed toward adults and children, various ethnic groups and are accompanied by drumming and song.

The final story date, Feb. 23, features The Wondermakers, a traveling troupe who perform story theater, fables and folktales

All the storytellers will be in the second level Community Room.

Aquarium members are free and regular admission rates will be in effect for non-members; adults, $10; $6 for children and free for 2 and under. No reservations are needed. For more information, call 285-3575, ext. 206.

CALLERI: 'Star Trek Into Darkness' shows a comedic side If you're not part of the "Star Trek" cheering section, you're to be forgiven if you can't keep track of all the incarnations of the outer space adventure. The best advice I can give for developing an understanding of the connectivity among all the motion pictures and television programs is to take them one at a time. You'll slowly see how interwoven everything is. Of course, understanding doesn't necessarily have to mean appreciating.
