Chambers Street Theatre for 11am on Nov 21st, 2013Thu, 11/21/2013 - 11:35am | Ruth ChambersIt's November so we're doing Thanksgiving shows. This is our 3rd Thanksgiving show and what are we thankful for? This show covers the verse for children from the 1700's to about 1850. Yes, we are thankful for children who are loved in a family that wanted children. Some verses read today are warnings and others are playful. That was the style of those times. Next week we cover 1850 to now in verse. |

This show is Children's Verse from the 1800's because one of the things to be thankful for is children with all their joy and fun even if children at times can be very annoying. The verse covers the full range of animal verse, fun verse, and behavior warning verse. Families will enjoy this half hour together with Children's Verse from the 1800's.

Chambers Street Theatre for 11am on Nov 7th, 2013Thu, 11/07/2013 - 11:35am | Ruth ChambersRuth does the first of the Thanksgiving shows. The idea is to have more 'thanks' during the month so she starts with a "Thanksgiving Praise" then moves on to the Mark Twain story of being lost in the snow. Obviously Twain did not die and moved on to writing "Tom Sawyer," "Huck Finn," and "Roughing It." |
Chambers Street Theatre for 11am on Oct 31st, 2013Thu, 10/31/2013 - 11:35am | Ruth ChambersIt's October 31st, Halloween, and we're doing a repeat of the "Tarantula Show." Ruth starts with "what are Tarantulas" from Wikipedia then it's on to "Roughing It" by Mark Twain and his time in Carson City before he was famous. He's in a dorm like third floor with other men and the Tarantulas get out in the dark, of course. Lot's of fun. |

Thanks to all the folk I meet in town who recognize my voice and say how much they like my show. I like every one of you and we always have a nice chat about Mark Twain. You all are the best of people.
Here's our offering for your collection. It's an ode to our kitty Katie ...
A wonderfully warm Katie Cat
would come running whenever you sat.
She'd rumble and purr,
and had wonderful fur
to cuddle and nuzzle and pat.
