Join me for a workshop on using puppets with young children, especially for beginners (but experienced puppeteers are also welcome). If you have a puppet, bring it along! required Registration required on Eventbrite. $34.50.

Not for the faint of heart! I'll tell my creepiest and weirdest stories for grownups and older kids (12+) in my backyard in Lawrence, the Sunday before Halloween. (See the other event for stories for kids at 4:30 on the same date.)

Bring chairs (I have a few, but they might be damp), blankets, drinks and snacks if you want them, bug spray if the mosquitoes are still around, and friends.

Park on the street. Please don't block my neighbor's drive.

Tips are appreciated but not required.

I’ll tell funny-scary stories for all ages in the backyard! My ridiculous handpuppets will be along for the ride, too. Yes, I'll tell all my favorites, including "The ghost with the one black eye."

Bring blankets, chairs, snacks and drinks if you want them, and friends. Probably won't need bug spray at this time of year.

Free, but tips are appreciated (cash, venmo or paypal).

The backyard is child-friendly but not child-proof, so you're responsible for the safety of your own children.
