Well Aged Words (Storytelling for Adults)

Len Cabral will be the storyteller at the International Mask and Puppet Museum this evening. According to the theatre’s website, Len is a storyteller of Cape Verdean ancestry. Len brings his unique perspective to the celebration of African American heritage with stories from Africa, the Caribbean, the Cape Verde Islands, and the southern United States. He is an American
