Bottle Lamp Tales | Jan Blake
Thursday October 23 at 7:30pm

The 2025-2026 Signature Series kicks off with visiting artist Jan Blake, who recently performed at The Montréal Intercultural Storytelling Festival. 

In Jamaica, at the end of a village bonfire, children were sent home alone after dark, leaving the parents to tell stories by the fire. The children were given bottle lamps, made by stuffing a rag into a bottle filled with kerosene. After an evening of hearing stories about duppies and boo hags, the walk home was filled with terror, as will this evening of scary stories for adults

NOTE: This performance will be available in person only. As per the artists request, no live or on demand video will be available.
