    • Performing Arts

In this episode, the storyteller Kathy Shimpock, will read the Russian tale, “Go I Know Not Whither, Fetch I Know Not What.”  It’s a story with two crones: one the wise crone and the other the infamous Baba Yaga.  Perhaps she’s a wise crone too.  Only time will tell.  (Because this is a long story, our discussion will be broken into two parts. This month is the story and next month will be the discussion.)
