Stones & Bones — and other creepy things

Stories of Stones & Bones, and other creepy things
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 24 THRU SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6
A Treat for the Whole Family
LVSG presents Stories of Stones & Bones, and other creepy things, a virtual story feast for an ethereal experience filled with fun and frights. Suited for general audiences.

Join Karen Maurer, Ingrid Bohn, Robin Reichert, and Denise McCormack for thrills, chills, and fun as we celebrate this season’s favorite holiday: All Hallows Eve.

According to McCormack, the producer of the show, “Being able to weave stories for kids of all ages is a great treat for us, the storytellers. To get ready, each of us sift through dozens of tales until we find that special one that screams, “Share me!” and then we begin our journeys to put the stories into just the right words for the people who’ll share them with us. For this particular event, we want adults to enjoy the stories as much as the kids and for kids to enjoy the stories as much as the adults. To do that, we leave the sizing up to each individual imagination. Remember, the scariest stories reside inside our heads, and much of what’s heard will depend on how and when we hear it, and who we hear it with. The bottom line is that we want everyone to enjoy the stories.”

FAQ

What ages is this program appropriate for?

If it were a movie or television show, I’d say it’s Y7 and the stories might be compared to those found in Alvin Schwartz’ Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.

There are moments of levity with silly interludes between the stories, and a little of this and a little of that—including a ditty or two that may prove nostalgic for some of us.

This program is meant to be enjoyable for as many people as possible, of all age ranges.

Are pre-recorded programs available at other times or formats?

We have found that organizations enjoy showing the programs at their own venues, and we can arrange that availability.

We also find that some viewers from around the world may not be able to access our platform, and we will also address requests to make other arrangements if possible.
