The Lincoln Arts Festival will present Tea and Stories on Sunday, August 5 from 2 to 4 p.m.  at St. Columba's Episcopal Church on Emery Lane in Boothbay Harbor. This is a rare opportunity to be swept away into other worlds with the oral skills of entertainer and storyteller Doris Feyling.

Doris tells spell-binding stories for children of all ages that promise to engage everyone’s imaginations.  A good story transports us to other lands and times and through her skillfully told tales we find reflections of ourselves and of others.

A story is a powerful vehicle.  It is an ancient form of communication and how we transmit culture, the difference between right and wrong, with the characters representing the best and the worst in human beings.

Doris is a gifted performer in the San Francisco area, where she worked as part of an enrichment program in a public school. She has been telling stories to children in grades K through 5 for many years.  Entering each of the 19 classrooms monthly, children fell under her spell, where they were exposed to beloved tales from around the world.  Also a “teller” to adults, Doris has shared her stories in nursing homes, libraries and at her church, where she makes the ancient and classic stories come alive.

Those who are fortunate enough to hear her spin her stories will be swept up and transported to another time and place where magic is a daily experience … all this and tea, too!   

Tickets are $10 at the door.  For further information check the LAF Website, or call 633-3913.
