To kick off our 2017 Arts in the Park<\/a>, Friends of Glen Providence Park is delighted to present Master Storyteller Odds Bodkin!<\/a> <\/strong>He’ll bring his harp, guitars, and other instruments to help him tell his funniest family-friendly stories. Odds has performed twice at The White House, been called \u201ca consummate storyteller\u201d by The New York Times, and \u201ca modern-day Orpheus\u201d by Billboard Magazine. You will be spellbound!<\/p>\n

Arts in the Park<\/em><\/h3>\n

Saturday, June 3
\n5:00-6:30 pm
\nGlen Providence Park Stage, State Street, Media
\nRain date: Sunday, June 4<\/em><\/p>\n

Using only 12-string guitars, Celtic harp and folk instruments without electronic effects, Odds transforms his voice into heroes, giants, villains and animals<\/strong> while playing live music to create vivid, cinematic soundscapes. He also creates realistic effects with his voice – water droplets, wind, galloping hoofs, crashing waves – to add imagery to his stories. Odds is renowned for his renditions of epic tales for universities and high schools, including an entrancing four-hour version of Homer’s The Odyssey, and his ethics-based stories for children.<\/p>\n

Bring a blanket or chair, and relax on the lawn by the historical stage to listen to tales that appeal to all ages! <\/strong>After the performance, head into Media for dinner and shopping, just 2 blocks away on State Street. As with all of our events, this performance is free, family-friendly, and open to the public.<\/p>\n
