Crankie Cabaret 2020 will be on October 15 -17 @ 7:30pm & October 18 @ 3pm at The Cherry (102 Cherry St. Ithaca NY)!
See what we’ve been up to in the last few years:
What is a crankie? “A crankie is an old storytelling art form. It’s a long illustrated scroll that is wound onto two spools. The spools are loaded into a box which has a viewing screen. The scroll is hand-cranked while the story is told. It can be accompanied by a narrative, song or tune.”
