News: The Concert for Peace | Ann Arbor Observer

"Once a year Michigan Peaceworks throws a fund-raising party at the Ark.... Storyteller LaRon Williams, decked out in vibrant, living colors, pulled folks from the audience to help act out a folktale. The story was one I'd heard before, about a peasant weary of his creaking floors and leaking roof. He seeks counsel with the local wise woman (played by a young girl), who tells him to bring his pig, cow, and chicken into the house. When the man is at wits' end with the critters, she instructs him to remove them, one by one. Now he has gratitude for his imperfect lodging." The Concert for Peace - Ann Arbor Observer
