Ozarks Tales of Strange Science & Macabre Art

Thursday, October 8, 7 p.m. in the Library Center Hatch Auditorium.

Strange stories have long shaped the Ozarks, from mystic healers and rabies-curing madstones to the in famous Bald Knobbers vigilantes, creating a region steeped in legend and macabre art. Local artists Sandi Green-Baker, Abbey Waterworth, Moe Aoife Callahan and Eric Leick present a multimedia evening of storytelling featuring supernatural tales, folk ballads and crankies — a century old tradition blending music, theater and art.
