Stories Day and Night (2012) follows from our first storytelling marathon conducted in 2010. For 2012, we have tales for the young, the young-at-heart, and mature listeners in three different programmes held back-to-back. In addition this year for the first time, we will encourage the audience during the evening show to share their own stories and celebrate the joy of communicating with others. So come enter our realm of story and we guarantee you a most engaging and heart-warming experience!
