Milbre Burch, A Night of Storytelling at Jekyll Island Club Hotel, Georgia.
Master storyteller Milbre Burch of Columbia, Missouri, performs a concert of her finest stories for this event that begins at 7:30 p.m: “A Haunting Good Night – Scary Stories for Adults.” This is a rare opportunity to hear one of the nation’s most distinguished tellers.

An internationally known storyteller, award-winning recording artist, published poet and writer, and respected teacher of her craft, Burch is a storyteller in every sense of the word. She was nominated for a Grammy Award in February in the category, “Spoken Word for Children.”

Ms. Burch has appeared at the National Storytelling Festival numerous times and received a “Storytelling Oscar,” the Circle of Excellence Award, from the National Storytelling Network in 1999. In addition she has been featured at spoken word and theatre festivals across the nation and in twelve European cities.

Ms. Burch has performed with the Lincoln Center Institute in New York, the Music Center on Tour, the Performing Tree and the University of Phoenix in California. In addition she has been a teaching artist for the National Conversations Project of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Her work in designing and implementing a now-ten-year-old storytelling residency at the Walden School in Pasadena, California, has been lauded as a national model at education conferences across the country.

Following her performance at the Jekyll Island Club Hotel is a dessert reception where the audience may meet the artist.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show
October 24, 2008 at 12:00am at the Florida Theatre
The antici…pation is over! The cult classic film will be shown at midnight at the Florida Theatre. Come early for an action-packed street festival with The Rocky Horror Tribute Band, costume contest, food, beverages and fun. Get your tickets today before they are sold out. $5 per person. General admission.
Rocky Horror is the first and only true audience partici-(SAY IT!)-pation movie. People yell back lines at the screen during the extended pauses between dialogue, dress up in costume and act out the film, and throw props various times during the film.
The audience participation phenomenon was observed as early as the film’s first run in 1975 and was later re-released as a midnight movie where the audience participation really began to flourish. For the “gore sensitive”, Rocky Horror is NOT a horror film. It is a rock-musical send-up of old science-fiction and horror films.
Click here for more Rocky information for first-timers.

Tickets can be purchased at the Florida Theatre box office or in City Hall St. James in Suite 280. Dress up as your favorite Rocky character, bring your props and join in the fun!
