Join Mara the Storyteller, as she celebrates the rich mythology, legends and folklore from both her Scottish and African dual heritage. Be prepared for journeys of wonder and mystery. Discover the stories that have shaped her view of the world.

From the misty highlands of Scotland to the sunbaked savannas of Africa, Mara weaves tales of ancient gods, mischievous spirits, and heroic mortals. Experience the magic of selkies and kelpies, alongside the wisdom of Anansi the Spider. Laugh at the clever tricks of the Sidhe and marvel at the power of African deities.

Through her captivating performances, Mara brings these timeless narratives to life, bridging cultures and generations. Let her transport you to realms where reality and fantasy intertwine, where every story echoes with the voices of our ancestors. This promises to be an unforgettable evening of entertainment, reflection, and cultural exploration where stories act as doorways to the universal truths that connect us all.

This event will be at the Eugene & Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center (450 W. Ohio St.) on Saturday, September 28th from 7-9 PM. A virtual option is also available.
