McIntosh, Story Laurie	2011 One World, Many Stories - Around the World...	Multicultural- Other, Music, Performing Arts- Storytelling	Once upon a time, a young fellow named Jack grew a cabbage so enormous, he decided to see if he could sail it across the open sea. He could! And so he did. . .And so begins “Around the World in An Afternoon”, a musical storytelling adventure that will transport your library audience to lands both near and far. Within the frame story of Jack sailing on his cabbage (based on an old story dreamed up by Pete Seeger long ago), Story Laurie takes listeners on an imaginary journey that begins in your library’s backyard. The audience will sail south to the small island nation of Haiti, to hear a traditional folk tale. Then they will set sail across the Atlantic, where they will meet characters commonly found in European and African folklore. We then continue our journey around the globe, with a stop in Asia, then the South Seas and finally back home to the United States...singing songs, telling tales, off we go!	$201- $350
Beekman, Betty	Stories In My Pocket Too	Performing Arts- Theater, Performing Arts- Storytelling	The Little Theatre of the Deaf performs for everyone in Sign Language and the spoken word. You SEE and HEAR every word. STORIES IN MY POCKET TOO, a 50-minute program filled with stories, fables, signing fun and interactive improvisation. We begin with a sign language warm-up that actually uses ropes to teach sign language! For those who know sign language, it is fun to guess what we'll come up with next. For those who do not, it is a fun and memorable way to learn. We have six large, colorful pockets on stage. Each pocket contains a theme. And we ask the audience to choose a pocket and we perform what they've picked. What will be in the orange pocket? Will it be signing fun, or fables? Whichever pocket is chosen, we will entertain, educate and enrapture. Included in our educational/outreach partnership, our LEARN AND STUDY TOGETHER GUIDE provides teachers with material about the performance, exercises and activities to do in the classroom pre and post-performance.	$1001- $3000

Clive, Young,	May The Fan Film Be With You	Media- Film, Media- Video, Performing Arts- Storytelling	May The Fan Film Be With You presents and discusses 15 of the best Star Wars fan films. In recent years, many movie fans have been inspired to make their own Star Wars films; using video cameras and powerful home computers for editing and special effects, these weekend directors have created a genre that became known as ‘fan films.’ Many of their homespun creations rival the original movies in quality and story, making these unusual films a permanent part of the Star Wars universe. Most of these films are quite rare and have not been seen anywhere except the internet, but this program will screen them the way they were meant to be seen, in full-quality video. Additionally, the program will discuss the history of the growing fan film movement and explore what compels these budding filmmakers to invest so much effort into their personal visions of the Star Wars mythology. All material screened will be appropriate for the whole family, but discussion will be aimed primarily at adults and young adults.	$201- $350
