Siri Allison to Perform at the 33rd Annual Not Just for Kids Storytelling series

FORT HUNTER – The Friends of Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site will host storyteller Siri Allison on Sunday, September 7th at 6pm as part of their 33rd Annual Not Just for Kids Storytelling series at Schoharie Crossing. Allison will be sharing a set of stories titled, “…Decisions, Decisions...”

These stories will explore the way we make decisions, as evidenced by folk tales, literary tales, and actual history. Human decision making can be foolish or thoughtful, wise or impetuous, and the consequences of those decisions can be hilarious... or regrettable.  Come along for the experience as Siri shares stories of people who weigh the options and their chances. 

Siri Allison is a versatile and engaging performer who holds a BFA in Acting and spent 10 years acting and performing in New York City. She has always been captivated by stories and as a child read stacks and stacks of books. After her children were born, she began telling stories and teaching creative dramatics in Hudson Valley schools. She and her family have recently moved to the Adirondacks and  Allison is a grateful member of the Story Circle of the Capital District, where she helps produce their winter series, “Word Plays.”

The next Not Just for Kids Storytelling program will be on September 28th, featuring Linda McKenney.

This program is free family fun. Refreshments will be available. This program is held outside the Visitor Center on Schoharie Street, Fort Hunter. Bring your own chair. If raining, the stories move inside the Enders House.
