Dear fellow Hanoverians:
What are you going to do with the kids during April vacation?!
David Coffin, a musician, singer, storyteller, educator and maritime
specialist, will present "Life At Sea: A Voyage In Song" at the library on
Tuesday, April 20 at 4:00 p.m. The musical program recreates a voyage on an
old New England whaling ship, with the audience members acting as the ship’s
crew. Mr. Coffin will lead the audience in singing sea shanties, "hoisting
the sails", and acting out other shipboard activities. Playing the
concertina and other instruments, he is particularly skilled at getting a
whole audience singing. There will also be a special appearance by his
friend, "Pierre with the bad hair". The program is very interactive, full
of humor, and informative as well as entertaining.
Mr. Coffin is a descendant of the Nantucket Coffins, one of the most
prominent American seafaring families. He is a multitalented performer who
has been singing and playing music at hundreds of venues all over the
country for more than 20 years. He regularly presents educational programs
at schools around New England.
This program is supported by a grant from the Hanover Cultural Council, a
local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a
state agency. The program is designed for families with children in
kindergarten and older. Free tickets are available in advance at the
library, and all are welcome. For more information, please call
781-826-2972, extension 4 or e-mail lcampbell@ocln.org .
