This here is the COVER to the latest Enterprise!  Yes, that is me, I made the cover!  That was a pretty nice surprise.  If you want to see the article just click on the image above to go to the website.  The picture is of me doing my storytelling thing!  It was taken on Thursday night at the Raynham Public Library.  The crowd there was wonderful and heard “Morphing Beans” and “Can’t Sleep” with Edgar and Charlie.  The headline next to my pictuire has nothing to do with me.  Honest…

The Winslow House will be sponsoring Big Ryan’s Tall Tales at the end of the month – on June 27th! – at 10:00am.  Please come and enjoy Big Ryan at this beautiful Marshfield landmark and stay to enjoy this Historic Museum.  Click on the pic above to be directed to the Winslow House website.

I see that the website has the wrong date at this time – I have called and let the Director know.  So if you want to come and see Big Ryan please come on the date above!  See you there!

Plymouth has to be some of the biggest, most well attended shows, with great crowds and excited children form all over.  I enjoy coming to tell my stories at the Plymouth Library so much, and it brings me much pleasure to tell you that the Librarian contacted me to ask if I could perform my winter tales at the Library on February 19th at 10:30am!!!  Make sure you mark this date on your calendar and I can’t wait to see everyone there!

 I will be at Scituate’s Annual Family Fun Day at 11:00am.  Come out and enjoy a great time!  If it does rain we will be indoors – but if the sun is out – then we will have a great time outside!  Come one, come all!  Other performers include Mama Steph, the Great Scott, Jack Gillman’s Family Cabaret and Gary the Silent Clown!  For more info click here!  See you tomorrow!

If you are unable to catch me here – I will also be at the James Library in Norwell at 1:00pm.

Big Ryan is now scheduling for his Fall shows! 

September brings the Autumn show featuring “Imagination Trips” that explore what happens to the leaves when the weather gets colder!  Chilren get to laugh through stories like “The Great Carrot Disaster” and Wolf and Moose tell “Treat 4 Bear”!  A fun and wild time that Big Ryan only does once a year.

Then, October brings “Big Ryan’s Scary (but not the scary) Tall Tales for Children”  A wildly popular show with Big Ryan classics such as “The Scared Crow” and the seasonal favorite “Timmy”.  Also, Edgar and Charlie (the dog puppets) come out to tell “Sleepover.”  Shedule Big Ryan now to beat the rush when October is here!

Autumn is my favorite time of year – I can hardly wait!  Hope to hear from you soon!

  

After an extremely busy week, I was in Scituate on Tuesday, Fall River Wednesday, a wonderful show for the residents of Royal Nursing Home in Falmouth on Thursday, then Thursday night spent in New Bedford telling some families stories for Little People’s College Family Reading Night, then Friday where I spent the whole day in Hanover and ended in Hull for an Ice Cream Social hosted by the Hull Family Network, I am looking forward to my day off on Sunday.  My foot seems to healing just fine, and thank you to everyone who has either called or emailed me well wishes.  My doctor said nothing is actually broken. 

Lastly, after a quick meeting with the owner of Cubby’s Clubhouse (871 Washington St, Rte 53 – right across the street from McGee Toyota, in Hanover), I will be doing 2 shows this week.  Both Thursday (5/24) and Friday (5/25) I will be there from 5:30 – 7:00pm telling my funny tales and selling my CD’s.  Call Cubby’s for more information (781) 826 – 2582.  If you have the opportunity swing by and check it out!  Hope to see you there!
