About this event
Our Storytelling Festival continues! On tour from Hawaii, Jeff Gere will share some spellbinding tales. Born on Halloween, Jeff has been “gifted” many, many true tales of the supernatural over his many decades in the Aloha State. He’ll share some of his favorites with us, exposing moments of modern island life entwined with ancient spirits in stones, bones—and the volcano goddess Pele. Jeff promises, “fun chillers ahead,” best for ages 9-Adult. “Come, if you DARE!” **About Jeff Gere:** An internationally touring master storyteller & puppeteer, [Jeff Gere](https://jeffgere.com/) is the retired Drama Specialist for the City & County of Honolulu’s Parks Department.
