Diane, Margot and Tom on a holiday decorated stairway

Performances are held in the Parish Hall at Saint John’s Church Episcopal Church. Tickets on sale NOW!

Celebrate the time of the longest nights with this delightful seasonal performance of Solstice stories and songs from around the world. Diane Edgecomb’s powerful adaptations plumb the depth and range of these ancient tales, bringing them fully to life. Stories range from the haunting Greek myth The Halcyon Days of Peace to Native American and Tanzanian stories of how the animal kingdom brought light and life during the darkest times.

A winner of both the national and regional Oracle awards for storytelling excellence, Edgecomb brings passion, humor and depth to her telling of the stories which are all beautifully complemented by a musical underscoring. Margot Chamberlain on Celtic harp and multi-instrumentalist Tom Megan accompany the tales with evocative instrumentals and bring original and revitalized songs of the season to round out the entertainment. This enchanting celebration of the Solstice has been a beloved Boston tradition for over thirty years.

To create the feeling of a wintertime gathering, complimentary seasonal refreshments are served after the performance.
