This month’s featured performer is the extraordinary storyteller Hal Pratt. At 7 p.m. Friday Oct. 25 in the Peg Fassett Performance Studio at the historic Dietrich Theater in downtown Tunkhannock, Pratt will enchant children and adults with his captivating tales of the strange.

Pratt has been writing and telling stories for more than 40 years. His stories range from classic sources such as Poe and Lovecraft to modern masters of the macabre. He has delighted many audiences at the Dietrich with his storytelling of the strange in years past. His stories have appeared in “Highlights for Children” and other various small press magazines. His childrens book, “The Diamond Button,” is available at the Tunkhannock Public Library. Hal’s variety of tales will help remind you of the importance of keeping the art of storytelling alive.
