Rebecca Rule loves stories and she's been collecting them around and about New England for most of her life, and telling them to appreciative audiences for fifteen years, give or take. "Stories speak to us of community," she says, "They hold our history and reflect our identity. They connect us. In the oral tradition, the more you give a story away, the more it belongs to you. I love nothing more than giving stories to audiences, and, on the best nights, receiving stories in return."
At Newagen Inn on Wednesday, June 15 at 7:30, she’ll tell some stories -- her favorites are the funny ones -- and invite audience members to contribute a few of their own. No pressure -- just the fun of being together and laughing together.
Rebecca Rule's latest book is Headin’ for the Rhubarb: A New Hampshire Dictionary (kinda). Other books include Could Have Been Worse: True Stories, Embellishments, and Outright Lies; and Live Free and Eat Pie: A Storyteller’s Guide to New Hampshire.
Come join us each Wednesday this summer for Fireside Tales with some of New Englands most interesting storytellers, historians and characters. For more information on staying at Newagen Seaside Inn, just minutes from Boothbay Harbor, visit us at www.newagenseasideinn.com.
