The Wayne From Maine show is 45 a minute interactive musical experience for the young and young at heart. Wayne along with his percussionist JimmyJames the KoongaBoonga Man invite volunteers to the stage to play various percussive instruments or sing into a wireless microphone. Wayne has been performing and recording children’s music for over a decade and has traveled up and down the east coast delighting audiences with his very own brand or “Edu-Tainment”. For more info visit his website www.waynefrommaine.com or call 800-414-6845.
A graduate of Duke University, Mr. Bodkin taught storytelling and imagination for seven years at Antioch New England Graduate School while pursuing a full-time career as a children’s author and musical storyteller. He has been a featured storyteller at The National Storytelling Festival, performed twice at The White House, and at schools, universities, museums and theaters across America. He has told stories and conducted workshops as far afield as Bangkok, Thailand and Great Britain. His all-original music on 12-string guitars, Celtic harp, grand piano, and other instruments makes his collection of stories resemble pieces of musical theater as much as storytelling. His seventeen award-winning audio recordings range from original dino-musicals for young children (his multiple-award winning Little Proto Trilogy) through an eclectic collection of international folktales, fairytales, and comic tall tales. His audios have won the Golden Headset Award, Parents’ Choice Gold and Silver Awards, two Indie Awards, the Storytelling World Award and many others. His four children’s picture books are published by Harcourt, Houghton-Mifflin and Little, Brown publishers and have won The Pick of the Lists, Booklist Editors’ Choice, The Storytelling World Award and the New York Public Library’s 100 Best Titles for Reading and Sharing, among others. Please join us for this very special event for children and adults of ALL AGES! Due to space limitations, sign-up is required, so please call us today at 964-8401 to get your name on the list.
