LOVE AT LAST
An Evening of Storytelling with Jim May and Megan Wells
Oak Park, IL- Jim May and Megan Wells tell heart-opening stories of precious love found in family and friends. Then joining in duet telling, they perform a chapter from Ray Bradbury's famous novel; Dandelion Wine. The evening will be rounded out with love songs from Village Players own Paul McKenna.
Jim May, speaks in the natural, matter-of-fact style of the fathers, horse traders, and small-town raconteurs who populated rural McHenry County, Illinois where his family has lived since the 1840's. For adult audiences, Jim tells hilarious and touching original stories of growing up in the tiny Catholic farming community of Spring Grove. Jim May's stories have taken him across the United States and Europe. Chicagoans know him from his appearances on WGN's Roy Leonard Show and from the Studs Terkel radio show on WFMT-FM. He received a 1989 Chicago Emmy award for a WTTW-Channel 11 production of his original story, "A Bell For Shorty." Read more about Jim May at www.storytelling.org/JimMay.
